E-mail correspondence

Over the next few months, we will be looking to develop our database of patient e-mail addresses. Our aim is to offer e-mail reminders to patients for their routine check-ups and 'flu vaccinations etc. In the future, we also plan to develop specific newsletters for different long-term conditions, such as diabetes or asthma, which would provide up to date information on new developments and treatments, with links to websites for further information. We will also be doing our bit for the practice carbon footprint.

The information flow is two-way, you will be pleased to know! A lot of queries or requests need not be dealt with in person, for example requesting antimalarials for holidays or advice on a particular pre-existing condition or even e-mailing information from medical records to people receiving treatment abroad on holiday! We can be contacted via: info@gp-b82622.nhs.uk

Please note that email is for routine matters, not emergencies, and that the e-mail is not encrypted and therefore we cannot guarantee its security.
