Merchiston Surgery

Your Patient Participation Group – REACH

We believe that our patients should be involved in decisions about their care: the how, the when and by who they receive it. The only true way we can be sure that the services provided meets the needs of our community is if we hear from you. We would like our healthcare professionals and our patients / service-users to work together, in partnership, to provide the correct care and services to our community.

We are very keen to get a newly established group of invested individuals together and would love to establish a cohort of individuals that represent all aspects of the community we serve. If you are or might be interested please complete the online application form which can be found below, on our PPG posters and other pages related to the PPG
