Many of our GP practices are now using a platform called ‘Footfall’ which has been designed to support patients navigate through the website to find what they need, much as they might do if they walked into the surgery. Below is a short video that helps explain how it works.
Community health services
Community health services deliver accessible NHS healthcare services to adults and children in convenient places close to their homes and, where necessary, in their homes.
