New at your surgery – Consulting with your GP online

MANY GPS NOW DO TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS, AND AT MY SURGERY WE’RE NOW INSTALLING NEW SOFTWARE TO DO CONSULTATIONS ONLINE AS WELL – IDEAL FOR PATIENTS WHO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO TALK ON THE PHONE WHEN THEY’RE IN AN OPEN-PLAN OFFICE FOR EXAMPLE, OR PUBLIC TRANSPORT. SO CHECK WITH YOUR SURGERY ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF CONSULTATION ARE AVAILABLE. THOUGH SOMETIMES IT’S BEST TO SIT DOWN WITH YOUR DOCTOR, FOR STRAIGHTFORWARD PROBLEMS, JUST TAPPING ON YOUR KEYBOARD WILL BE A FAR EASIER SOLUTION.
