6 September 2022 - Using the internet to order repeat prescriptions, view test results, book appointments etc
The Preston Road Surgery have found that less than half of their patients manage their health needs on-line.
They're offering lessons on how to make the most of it - see details below and poster attached.

I thought I’d let you know about a great new service available at Preston Road surgery STARTING MONDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER!Every Monday from 9.30am – 12pm patients can come along to a drop-in service to learn how to access the digital services available at the surgery.Following a patient survey in Weymouth & Portland, we found that a majority of people had access to the internet and used it to stay in touch with loved ones, to do internet shopping and banking but less than half had ever considered managing their health online.We have trained digital volunteers who are able to show people how to access their patient record, order repeat prescriptions, view test results, check their Covid passport, book appointments and fill in an eConsult form amongst others.The service is aimed at people who already use the internet and would like to know how to access health information online. If you or anyone you know would benefit from seeing our digital volunteers just come along to the surgery on a Monday morning with your laptop, tablet, smartphone and some identification (photo ID if possible).Please help us spread the word about the digital volunteers, I’ve attached a poster for information, feel free to share with friends, family, clubs, groups and contacts!If you have any questions please contact meKind RegardsTracey ScorerWorkflow/PPG CoordinatorRoyal Crescent & Preston Road Practice
