Important - We are making important improvements to how you contact our GP surgery. These changes are designed to make access easier, fairer, and more efficient for all our patients, ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to reach us when they need care. What’s Changing? From 23rd March, we will be moving to a new online access system called SystmConnect. This change supports new NHS contractual requirements, which set out how GP practices must provide fair, consistent access during core hours.

The NHS has today announced a new partnership with libraries across England to help more people access online health services and use the NHS App.
The scheme, in partnership with The National Health Literacy Partnership, will officially launch in October – with NHS England contacting public libraries and NHS libraries in the coming weeks to provide toolkits and information.
Libraries already play a vital role in making online services more accessible and according to a recent survey by Ipsos, librarians are the third most trusted profession in Britain.
By providing librarians with the right tools and support, they will be able to play a key part in helping people to use the NHS App and NHS.UK to better understand and manage their health.
John Quinn, Chief Information Officer at NHS England, and a former librarian said: “Public libraries are at the heart of our communities and offer a significant opportunity to reach those who face barriers when it comes to accessing their health information online.
“The NHS App has more than 34 million registered users and we want to ensure no-one is excluded from using this service. For more information.
