Telehealth System

We would encourage you to use our Telehealth equipment (the 'Pod') situated in an enclosed area in both Station Road and Queens Square reception areas. It can be used to check blood pressure, weight and record a variety of other health information.

The Long Term Disease Management (LTDM) clinics we recently establised have been running very successfully for some time now. We wish to expand the use of the Telehealth machines to support this process and we are hence encouraging patients to record, for example, blood pressure as part of their hypertension annual reviews and follow-up blood pressure monitoring.

The system will guide you through the process and could save either a doctor or nurse the time needed to do this for you. The results go straight into your medical notes on our clinical IT system.
Also, if you should unfortunately, find yourself having to wait for an appointment, please use the 'Pod' to record information about yourself and also to gain useful feedback.

Appointments

Over recent months there has been increasing pressure on the appointment system and despite our best efforts to respond to the demand we are finding it difficult to accommodate everyone more>>
