myGp App
myGP app is a patient facing service for smartphones. The app is designed to improve patient access to primary care services, to enable safe and secure communication between the practice and its patients, support data collection and to encourage self-care through monitoring and medicines adherence. It allows anywhere, anytime access – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at home or abroad.
Core functionalities of the current version of the myGP are:
- Appointment booking/cancellation
- Call/Recall Campaign
- Circle of Care
- Patient-to-practice communication
- Medication Reminders
Registration takes just a few minutes. You need to download the app on to your android or iOS device, then register using your date of birth and mobile phone number for authentication (you must have your mobile number registered with the practice for the app to authenticate your registration). Once this is done you will be sent a text message with an authorisation code.
Text Reminder Service
We now have a FREE text reminder service for those patients with mobile phones who have given us their number. We will send a reminder of your appointment by text message 48 hours before it is due. We hope this will help with the 80% of missed appointments that are due to forgetfulness.
Cancelling Appointments
If you no longer require your appointment we ask that you contact us to cancel it as we can then provide care to another patient. To cancel you can ether telephone reception or if you have received a text message you can reply to this (this will be charged by your provider).
