What is a PPG?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients who work with the surgery to help improve services, support health initiatives, and represent patient views. If you’d like to get involved, you can contact both our Portesham or Dorchester PPGs—more information is available on our website.

Why FeNo Testing Matters
At Prince of Wales Surgery, we use FeNo (Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide) testing to help diagnose and manage asthma more effectively. This simple, painless test measures inflammation in the lungs and helps us tailor your asthma treatment, so you breathe easier and stay well. By supporting our Equipment Fund, you are helping us provide and maintain vital tools like FeNo devices for better patient care.
