Another way to make contact with the surgery

https://patients.animahealth.com/signIn

With the ever growing pressures on GP surgeries and national shortage of GP’s current GP practices are continually looking for ways to improve access to meet demand and allocate correctly the type of service or advice your condition requires.

What are the benefits to me as a patient?

As a patient you will benefit from:

• Being able to log on to see the status and outcomes of your current and past requests.
• You will be asked questions based on your issues
• Your medical records will be more complete for the future
• The practice responses will be clearer
• You will receive a text message and email to let you know when the practice has responded (no more missing emails in the junk box).
• You can provide all the information that the practice needs without waiting on the phone

Anima allows our team to continue to improve access times by helping us to direct you to the most appropriate care for your medical needs. This ensures we make use of our limited resources in the most safe and efficient way. All appointments will continue to be offered according to clinical urgency and need.

Your request will be handled in exactly the same manner whether you complete the Anima request online yourself, or contact us via telephone, where our receptionists will ask the same questions to ensure equity of access for all patients.

We would encourage all patients who can do so to use Anima, as this will prevent you needing to queue on the telephone and keep lines free for those who do not have internet access.

Completing an Anima request yourself also provides you with more discretion should you prefer not to discuss your medical problem with one of our receptionists.
