Delivering traditional standards of GP care through innovation

A big thank you ๐Ÿ™ to everyone who joined us at our NHS App Open Day on Friday 6th December!

The team, along with our panel of NHS App experts, enjoyed meeting everyone who came along. We hope were able to help if you have 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, in the future.

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 Spring.
