Where else can we get help?
The National Association for Patient Participation is a national organisation that PPGs can join who give help, advice and support on setting up and running a PPG. Their website is: http://www.napp.org.uk/index.html
Patient Participation Week is run every year by NAPP and can be a great time to raise the profile of your PPG: http://www.napp.org.uk/ppgawarenessweek.html
