PinPoint

If you have recently seen your GP and received a Two Week Wait or Fast Track Referral, you may be invited for an additional blood test as part of a pilot research project called the PinPoint Test. 

Please see the page below or the following link about The PinPoint Project for further information:  https://canceralliance.wyhpartnership.co.uk/our-work/innovations-programme/pinpoint-test.

If this is something you would like to take part in, you will have received a text from your practice with a direct dial number to contact the PinPoint team of Claire or Leanne for further information on how to book.

Patches has replaced E-Consult

We’re pleased to announce that Patches has now gone live.
The ICB have selected PATCHS for all Practices to replace of our previous online consultation service to improve the experience for our patients. PATCHS was chosen after feedback from patients who use eConsult as a tool to contact their GP surgery.
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 simply a signposting tool, to ensure our phone lines are kept as accessible as possible for our most vulnerable and poorly patients. This should not be used for life threatening emergencies when you should contact 999 or visit A&E.
You will also receive text messaging through Patches that you may or may not to reply to.
By registering you will have easy access to a range of services from your computer or smartphone, including:
Anything non-urgent that you need to contact us for:

Repeat Medications and prescriptions
Health advice
Access to any of our services/health professionals
