E-consult will be replaced by Accurx on 1st April 2025

From 31st March 2025, the ICB will no longer be funding e-consult as they are trying to streamline their digital service. The chosen provider will be Accurx. Some patients may have already seen this with blood pressure monitoring.

The NHS app is still available if patients should prefer to continue using this route.

 

How does Accurx work?

  1. A patient’s request comes in through a structured form submitted online, over the phone or by visiting the practice.
  2. All requests enter a shared inbox that’s fully integrated with your clinical system.
  3. The surgery team action the requests, triaging and signposting patients based on clinical need.

Stop Smoking Day - 12th March 2025

Take the First Step to a Healthier You

Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health, and there’s no better time to start than on Stop Smoking Day, which is on the 12th of March 2025. It’s a day dedicated to empowering individuals to break free from the habit and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

Taking your bra off at the end of the day feels great. And so does getting your breast screening sorted. It can detect cancer long before you can even feel it. Or more likely, put your mind at rest. So when you're invited, save the date, it could save your life.
