Recently we witnessed National Patient Participation Week. Organised by the National Association for Patient Participation (NAPP) it was an awareness raising week designed to encourage patient engagement – with a wider focus on general practice.

It can also boost diagnosis in the population at large, help raise funds for research and ensure patients feel represented.
