A presentation on the new online patient service askmyGP can be heard at Healthwatch North Somerset’s public board meeting on July 9th in Weston-super-Mare.

Weston has seen the biggest roll-out of the new online booking system in the country, with nine surgeries either already using it, or planning to bring it in shortly.  Denys Rayner, ISS Support Manager, from clinical commissioning group BNSSG, will be giving a presentation on how the new service is taking shape in the area.

There will be a Q&A session too so people can find out what they need to know to get the best from this service. AskmyGP has been introduced to take the pressure off GPs and help with the retention of doctors and is part of an initiative known as the Intensive Support Site project for Weston and Worle.

HWNS’s public meeting will take place from 2-4pm at Hans Price Building, Knightstone Campus, Weston College, BS23 2AL. Refreshments will be served.
