π Benfleet Community Fayre 2025 β A Successful Day for the PPG
On Sunday 1st June, our Patient Participation Group (PPG) proudly attended the Benfleet Community Fayre for the second year running. π
The event was a fantastic opportunity for us to engage with local residents, share information about what the PPG and Primary Care Network (PCN) do, and hear valuable feedback π¬ about peopleβs experiences with their GP surgeries.
Weβre excited to share that 46 residents signed up to either join their surgeryβs PPG or to receive our regular newsletters via email. π It was great to see such enthusiasm from the community and to connect with so many individuals who are keen to get involved and stay informed. π
A big thank you to everyone who took the time to visit our stallβwe really appreciate your support! π
