PATIENT INFORMATION KIOSK

We have a new Patient Information Kiosk in the waiting room - It is an interactive touchscreen which has internet access and is for patients use.

You can access information about the practice, access medical information on the internet, give feedback about the care provided to you by the Doctors and Nurses and leave any other comments you would like. Please do have a go - it is very easy to use and if you have any problems just ask the receptionist to assist you.
