Wootton Vale & Shortstown

Delivering traditional standards of GP care through innovation

A big thank you πŸ™ to everyone who joined us at our NHS App Open Day in December 2024!

The day was a huge success and the team, along with our panel of NHS App experts, enjoyed meeting everyone who came along. We were able to help many of you came along, on the day, who had been experiencing difficulties using the NHS App. Your feedback and experiences have proven very valuable, and we have learned how we can assist other patients, facing similar issues.

We hope that this will encourage more patients to start to use this very helpful resource!

Given how successful the event has been, we will be looking to host another similar “Open Day” in the near future.
