New Digital Consultation Tool Coming Soon!

We are really excited to announce that from the 18th of July we will be using a new digital consultation tool! Run by Accurx! Please read the attached letter for more information. 

This will be the default way for contacting our surgery for admin or medical requests from the 18th of July, it will also replace our eConsult system that some of our patients currently use.

The following links and videos will show you how the system will work, so you can familiarise yourself with it before we go live.

Named GP for All Patients

From 1 April 2015 all patients at Stanley Medical Group, including children, will have a named GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice. This does not, however, prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do, and you are unlikely to see any notable change in the way care is delivered to you by our practice.
