New online consultation service launching on July 22nd
We’re pleased to announce that we will be launching a new online consultation tool called PATCHS at our GP practice on July 22nd. We have selected PATCHS to take the place of our current online consultation service to improve the experience for our patients.
The new online consultation service offers a secure, simple and flexible way for patients and carers to contact their GP practice – it will not replace face to face appointments, it is in addition to routine contact with Practices. This should not be used for emergencies when you should contact 999 or visit A&E.
By registering you will have easy access to a range of services from your computer or smartphone, including:
– reporting symptoms to your GP
– booking virtual appointments
– accessing health advice
To request repeat prescriptions, you should continue to follow the current process we have in place.
You can register via our website homepage from July 22nd onwards.
All you will need to do is provide an email address and set up a password.
For more information on PATCHS you can visit their website.

Tithe Farm Volunteers’ Award
Dr Bundock and the clinical team submitted a report on the work of the Volunteers to deliver the Vaccination Programme to an award-bearing body.
It has now been recognized and posted on a website for the public to vote for their favourite. You can read her submission here:
https://www.judgify.me/public-voting/peopleschoiceaward2021/submissions/481032?lan=en
You may need to copy-paste into a browser to access the article. The words and sentiments are hers without any input from any Volunteer. In order to vote you can click on one of the links and vote through social media or anonymously by clicking on the thumbs up.
At the very least, all the Volunteers should know about how valuable and valued has been the work of the Volunteers and to read of her and others’ heartfelt thanks to you all.
