We’re pleased to announce the introduction of an online consultation tool called PATCHS at our GP practice. We have selected PATCHS to take the place of our current online consultation service to improve the experience for our patients.

The new online consultation service offers a secure, simple and flexible way for patients and carers to contact their GP practice — it will not replace face to face appointments, it is in addition to routine contact with Practices. This should not be used for emergencies when you should contact 999 or visit A&E.

By registering you will have easy access to a range of services from your computer or smartphone, including:

• reporting symptoms to your GP
• booking virtual appointments
• accessing health advice

To request repeat prescriptions, you should continue to follow the current process we have in place.

You can register on our PATCHS page for Dr Bello’s Surgery & here PATCHS for King Street Medical Centre. All you will need to do is provide an email address and set up a password.
