Digital Hubs

In view of the changes with our online platforms, we have increased the frequency of our digital hubs from once a month to twice a month every other Thursday from 10am to 12noon. The next session will be 
held on Thursday 14 March in the Practice’s waiting room. To receive help on how to download and use the online apps with your smartphone, laptop, iPad, or tablet, please attend with your laptop, iPad or tablet. A 
member of staff will be available in the waiting area to support you in signing up to the available online Apps to: 

  • View your medical records 
  • Book and cancel your appointment 
  • View test results
  • Order repeat prescriptions 

Online services are quick and easy to use from a smartphone, tablet or computer. Save time and take greater control of your health.

As from 1 April 2024, the Practice will no longer use AskFirst, and patients will not be able to book clinical appointments or place administrative requests through the platform. We ask that you deactivate the App from your devices and use
