Getting help with online services
To help improve care and access to services, we are offering all patients the option for support in getting set up and using the NHS App – allowing you to manage your care in your own time and avoiding the need to get in touch with us by phone for some enquiries.
You can do this by using our automated digital assistant, it will appear as a pop up chat option on your screen when visiting our website. It is designed to provide you with the information you need to access services digitally.
