Patient Participation Group

The next PPG meeting is on Tuesday 31st October from 5-7pm.

We are delighted to inform you that the second and final phase of our new premises development in Oxford Street is due to be fully completed at the end of November/early December 2023. The St Peter’s team will at last be working under one roof and all our patients will be coming to our new building. The new, purpose-built practice is fully equipped for providing modern and high-quality GP services. It is compliant in terms of access and we have the added benefit of a large group room which can be divided into two. We hope that this will be used by our community and we look forward to hosting group consultations and other events. As a lot of you will know, this development has been a long time coming and our patients will no longer have to walk around the side of the building site to access the entrance. Thank you so much for your patience whilst the building work continues.

We anticipate that our Albion Street practice will move to the new Oxford Street building at the time of completion of the new premises, to ensure everyone can access GP services from our new modern facility. However, we understand this may cause some concern for some of our patients and we want to hear your views. We are therefore holding a PPG meeting to discuss both the relocation of Albion Street and the new premises further.

The PPG meeting will be held on:

Tuesday 31st October 2023 between 5 & 7 pm

At the Wagner Hall, 37 Lewes Road, Brighton, BN2 3HQ

Tea & coffee will be available.

Please look out for a text message to invite you to the meeting below. We will be promoting the meeting in the practice as well.

We look forward to seeing you.

The Aims of the Patient Participation Group

Our Patients Participation Group (PPG) is a space where patients, members of the medical staff and the Practice Manager are able to meet quarterly to discuss matters relating to the surgery, and for us to work together constructively to improve services. There is a video explaining PPGs here:-

The aims of the Group are:

To improve communication between the Practice and the Patients.
To exchange information and ideas.
To discuss recent or future developments which involve the practice and its patients.
To consider patients concerns, comments or suggestions about the quality of the service provided and what improvements can be made.

All patients of the Practice are eligible to join the Patient Participation Group, so if you are enthusiastic about the surgery and have a few hours to spare each quarter please think about becoming a member of your PPG.

If you wish to become a member, contact our Practice Manager, Julie Manthorpe at julie.manthorpe@nhs.net, who can provide you with further information about membership.

Virtual Patient Group

If you are unable to come to our meetings why not be part of our virtual Patient Group? From time to time we may need some patient input on certain issues. At these times we will e-mail our patient group for comments, suggestions or to do a questionnaire. If you would like to register, please contact Julie.
