ASKMYGP

Since engaging askmyGP, The Roxton Practice has received glowing feedback from our patients on the service they have received. The askmyGP service has been especially helpful playing its part in ensuring we give the best possible service to our patients without them having to attend the practice and leave the safety of their homes during COVID-19.
 
We are sorry if patients have experienced some issues accessing the practice using askmyGP recently. askmyGP is provided by a national company and due to COVID-19 it has been a popular choice with other GP practices across the country. We think this rapid growth in the use of askmyGP means that its Information Technology (IT) is struggling to keep pace and support all of the practices now engaging its service.
 
The Roxton Practice is working with the supplier of askmyGP and the NHS to fix the problem. We will keep you informed of any changes.
 
❗ Please continue to use askmyGP as normal.
 
• Requests submitted before 3pm will be dealt with on the day
• Clinician will get back to you as soon as possible
• If it’s urgent and you have not heard within 2 hours please call the practice
• If your condition deteriorates and you are very worried you should call NHS 111/999
 
Many thanks for your support and patience

CERVICAL SCREENING SCAM

We have been informed of a possible scam. Some women are being contacted by text message, claiming to be from the call and recall service to advise they are overdue for screening. The message asks them to call a mobile number and provide personal details.

These messages are not from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. The Action Fraud Line has been contacted. Please do not call anyone without contacting your GP practice first.
