Bye Bye text messages and Hello to the NHS app/PATCHS NHS Living Well Service Surgery Closures NHS App Messaging NHS Medicines Waste Reduction Campaign Jess’s Rule: Three strikes and we rethink PATIENT FEEDBACK
PATCHS is open from 07:45 Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). This allows those with other commitments to access PATCHS before the practice opens.
Your PATCHS will be triaged and responded to within 2 working days, sooner if appropriate.
***Remember from 1st January 2026*** Patients should register with the PATCHS service for triage requests. This will help our vulnerable patients who cannot access the service get through the phone lines where the staff can assist to complete on their behalf.
Did you know? when you complete a PATCHS request. This goes straight to a clinician to assess and triage.
