Volunteer Expenses
The CCG values the role of those who volunteer their time to support our work. We will pay ‘out of pocket’ expenses to those who are involved, which includes mileage and public transport costs. You can see our Expenses Policy here.

Support for PPGs
Our PPGs are a key part of local engagement. They contribute a valuable role in helping to support their practices and provide patient views. As a CCG we want to support PPGs in this vital role. Please see the below resources:
The CCG has held two events for PPGs in Worcestershire. The latest one on 9 October 2019 was attended by two-thirds of PPGs and the agenda included a focus on the development of Primary Care Networks. 92% of participants said they found the event very or extremely useful.
Agenda for the PPG event held on 1 March 2019

Staff
Understanding Engagement is crucial for all staff within the CCG. Not just what it is, but why we need it, what it accomplishes and how to use the information we get from it.
To help all CCG staff better understand Engagement and to consider how to engage patients and the public in their work. These 10 steps to Better Engagement were created by NHS England and have been shared with all CCG staff.
We are also holding sporadic 'drop-in' staff engagement events throughout the year in both Herefordshire and Worcestershire locations for staff to pop in and ask the team any questions they may have. The internal staff engagement presentation can be found here.
