- Pass onto the practice and or the patients any relevant information gained about the community which may affect healthcare using the range of multimedia platforms available

- Where need arises give feedback to the relevant organisation to influence the provision of hospital services and social care locally.

- Liaise with other PPG’s in the area.
- Assist the practice and its patients by arranging voluntary groups/support within the community
