Digital
The NHS Long Term Plan contains a commitment that by 2023/24 every patient in England will be able to access a digital first Primary Care offer. Access to Primary Care services via online consultations will be a key part of achieving that commitment.
The use of online consultation tools (OCTs) has increased dramatically in Primary Care since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. OCTs enable people to make contact with their GP practice without having to wait on the phone or take time out to come into the practice. From a practice perspective, online consultations can enhance the practice’s ability to effectively manage time and workload, and improve staff satisfaction. Patients can use online consultations to ask questions, report symptoms, submit an administrative request, discuss other information including the ability for a review of a known problem or condition and upload photos where appropriate. The practice usually triages the request and responds within a stated timeframe. Practice staff help signpost the patient to the right person, service or support 1.
Across Lincolnshire, the OCTs most widely used are accuRx, eConsult and askmyGP. Resources and training for these OCTs can be found below.
