Digital letters
We are pleased to be working with DrDoctor on our digital letters project, which means patients can view their letters quickly and easily in one place online. This will help to reduce confusion from lost letters, or if they arrive in the wrong order, and will make the patient experience smoother.
As well as benefits for patients, this service will help to reduce our environmental impact and provide a better value for money by reducing the amount of paper and postage costs.
To get online we need your correct details on our system. Please check we have your correct details and update your contact details with your GP surgery:
- Full name
- Date of Birth
- Postcode
- Mobile phone number
