Communications toolkit for Patient Participation Groups
18 December 2009
News > Patient and public involvement
The Growing Patient Participation campaign has created a new communications toolkit for PPGs. It’s a practical guide to help new and established groups engage with the local community, publicise their successes in the media and become an ‘ambassador’ for PPGs.
The toolkit was developed in consultation with experts including GPs, Practice Managers, PPG members and PCT representatives, to make sure it’s as useful and practical as possible. It includes:
- Tips on drawing in new members
- Recommendations on publicising your work in local media
- Suggestions on how to use social networking tools online
- Template materials including press release and web copy
- Ideas on new fundraising techniques
