Patient online update
There is an agreed aspiration between the GPC (General Practitioners Committee) of the BMA and the NHS that practices attempt to register 10% of patients for online services by 31 March 2017. Note: this is not a contractual requirement.
With 2017 likely to prove as demanding as 2016 for practices, action to work toward this 10% goal is recommended as soon as practicable.
With fewer than four months until the end of March 2017, the latest London figures show that only 44.6% of practices have 10% of patients registered for online services.
Those London practices who have embraced Patient Online have seen benefits for both patients and the practice.
Further information, tips and guidance to help you reach 10% of registered patients by 31 March 2017 can be seen here.
