Rapid Health Pilot
As discussed by Dr West at the previous PPG meeting, SGS trialled a new online consultation/online booking system via the SGS website. The system was trialled for a week and then a decision was made not to use it anymore.
However, this did prompt us to reappraise the current Patient Triage system, changes that have been made are – many more online bookable appointments have been made available. Patients can select from a list of appointment options sent via text.
PPG members are concerned that appointment should still be available via phone for on the day appointments, this is the case appointments are still available, it is SGS policy not to be a total triage practice.
Feedback from PPG member, patients are very appreciative of the SGS appointment system and being able to book appointments quickly.
PPG requested data on NHS App usage
Dylan shows data on NHS dashboard.
