Primary Care - Digital First

Digital-first primary care will become a new option for every patient, improving fast access to convenient primary care. There are about 307 million patient consultations at GP surgeries each year. Some GPs are now offering their patients the choice of quick telephone or online consultations, saving time waiting and travelling. Over the next five years every patient in England will have a new right to choose this option – usually from their own practice or, if they prefer, from one of the new digital GP providers.

Healthwatch Rochdale are currently gathering experience from patients around their views of online GP services. This survey should take no longer than 3 minutes to complete.
