PPG Meeting @ Church Road Health - 17 April 2025
We wish to invite you to attend a Patient Participation Group (PPG) meeting with staff and clinicians from Church Road Health.
The theme for this PPG event is  "Bowel Cancer Screening Awareness". This month, take a step towards protecting your health. Visit our awareness stall in the reception area which will be on from 2pm to 5pm (Before the PPG) to learn more about the NHS Bowel Screening Programme and how early detection can save lives.
Here’s what you can expect:
✅ Learn about gut health — Discover tips for maintaining a healthy gut and preventing digestive issues.
✅ Take away dietary advice — Practical tips and resources for eating well to support your gut health.
✅ Request a Free Bowel Screening kit — Conveniently request your NHS bowel screening kit on the day if you have misplaced it or can't remember completing it
Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it’s treatable if caught early. Screening saves lives.
Whether you’re eligible for screening, curious about gut health, or have questions, we’re here to help! 🙂
What does a Patient Participation Group do?
‍
In practice, PPGs can play a number of roles, including:
‍
- Advising the practice on the patient perspective
- Organising health promotion events
- Communicating with the wider patient body
- Running volunteer services and support groups to meet local needs
- Carrying out research into the views of those who use the practice (and their carers)
- Influencing the practice or the wider NHS to improve commissioning
- Fundraising to improve the services provided by the practice
Please come and join us in developing patient services in Newham. Your support is a critical part of helping us to help you.
