N.A.A.P.
We have organised sponsored membership of the National
Association of Patient Participation Groups (N.A.A.P.) for every
GP practice in Enfield. The CCG will also become a corporate
member.
http://www.napp.org.uk
N.A.P.P. is a registered charity and the only national umbrella organisation for
PPGs. N.A.P.P. was formed in 1978 by Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) that
wanted to network together nationally and to promote patient participation within GP
surgeries.
We have worked with N.A.P.P. so that every practice can join just by filling in a
special form. Enfield CCG will pay the cost of membership.
You can benefit from help and support from N.A.P.P. individually and we can
collectively work together on their toolkits.
N.A.P.P. provides free resources and networking opportunities with PPGs across
England.
We welcome your feedback on the resources N.A.P.P. provides as we will want to
audit whether we should continue with this membership.

Networking events
•
This is our third PPG event. We had one for Chairs only and one for all PPG Chairs and members. The
CCG would like to help you network and is willing to put on regular events for you
•
We would like you to help us shape the agenda. We have lots of people who want to speak to you. Here
are just a few:
- Public Health would like to talk to you about their work
- NHS Blood and Transplant are running an organ donor pilot
- CCG speakers can talk to you about local service improvements we are planning, projects such as the
Patient Experience Tracker, iPlato (text messaging) quality and lots of other topics
- Other external speakers such as NHS England, or the CQC

Training
We have booked some training with Enfield Voluntary Action. I would be willing to sponsor some more training
if requested.
Supporting you to promote your events
If you have an event, let us help you to promote it
Recruiting members
Every time we go out to events, we promote PPGs and tell people to ask their practice about the groups.
Volunteer opportunities
If you are an expert patient or have an expert patient in your PPG, they may want to volunteer to help the
CCG with service improvements
Help and advice
Advice with the PPG DES, events, surveys and anything else! I can also put you in touch with another group
who may be already doing something similar.
