Overview

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) comprises a diverse panel of University Health Service staff, including both clinical and administrative team members. In this role, you will represent the views of the broader student-patient community.

The PPG convenes quarterly to create a collaborative space where patients and staff can discuss shared concerns and interests.

Joining the PPG not only contributes to personal growth but also offers valuable experience in discussions and decision-making skills that will benefit you during your time at university and in your future career. This opportunity allows you to enhance your networking and communication abilities while making a meaningful impact on the initiatives at UHS.

If you are interested in joining our PPG you should email syicb-sheffield.universityhealthservice@nhs.net.

You can also read the PPG Terms of Reference for further information about scope of discussions and how the sessions are run.

Patient engagement activity

Our PPG has a dedicated email inbox: uhs-ppg@sheffield.ac.uk. It is monitored primarily by the PPG patient representatives, although UHS staff also maintain access.

It is used by patient representatives to reach out to the wider patient community for feedback and agenda items. The PPG convenes quarterly and this inbox is monitored intermittently ahead of a meeting.

This inbox is not for medical enquiries. To get in touch with UHS directly phone 0114 222 2100 or email syicb-sheffield.universityhealthservice@nhs.net.
