Patient Participation Group

Your Patient Participation Group (PPG) is made up of a group of volunteer patients, the practice manager and one or more of the GPs from the surgery.

The group covers both the Bedford Street Surgery and Furzton Medical Centre. No medical or patient information is shared or discussed at the meetings.

The PPG meets on a regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the surgery.

Join our Patient Participation Group

All registered patients are able to join our Patient Participation Group. People of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and those with health conditions and disabilities are encouraged to join.

We are currently looking for patients to join our PPG. 

We welcome patients from all manner of diverse backgrounds.

Community Group Information

Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) – Bletchley

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been drinking, or how much you drink. Alcoholism is an illness. 

AA meetings are where you will feel supported, where you can feel you belong. You are welcome, whatever your gender, sexual orientation, income, religion, or race. Anyone with a desire to stop drinking, one day at a time, is welcome. 

It is free to attend AA. You can just come and listen. Or you can talk and share. It’s up to you.

AA groups in Bletchley meet Mondays 20:00-21:00 at the Westfield Centre, Westfield Road, Bletchley MK2 2RA and Sunday mornings 11:00 at Rectory Cottages, Church Green Road, Bletchley MK3 6BJ.
