Additional information for GP practice managers - December 2023

Please make sure your patients are aware when they have been given online access to their new health record information, and what to do if they have any questions or need support.

You can use these materials and supporting text to help let your patients know. This includes website and social media content and a patient video. Resources are also available to help you promote online access through the NHS App.

We offer free, online Digital Clinical Safety training to NHS staff to help everyone involved in healthcare understand their roles and responsibilities. There are several levels, from beginner to advanced.

The intermediate level module is a CPD-accredited course. It has been updated following user feedback to improve understanding of real-life applications of digital clinical safety.

Find out more and access the training.

We now have over 300 NHS App ambassadors in GP practices across England.

The NHS App can save GP practices time and cost, while improving patient care. Having an ambassador to champion the NHS App in your practice means that you always get the latest NHS App updates and can connect with other ambassadors to discover what’s working in their area.

If you, or someone in your practice, would like to join our community, please contact appambassadors@nhs.net.
