📢Our new HRT 'review and re-order' form is now live. This is part of a @ihubscot pilot project, to test if we can improve access to medication reviews (for certain type of meds) via use of online review forms - bit.ly/3GEpSNQ

We've made some small adjustments to our phone system, in line with patient feedback, to make the messages you hear when you call us simpler and clearer. More to come soon hopefully.

On tonight's STV News at Six: GPs under pressure. @BMAScotland say doctors are facing severe staff shortages and a huge increase in patient demand, with a warning from one senior GP that some practices are having to close "in record numbers" as they buckle under the strain.

News here of the recent BMA Scotland survey of General Practices - big recruitment gaps across the country. We're grateful & fortunate to have a full team of GPs & other healthcare professionals at Riverside, although we know our patients still need more -

Interesting article which brings home the challenges that patients are facing right across Scotland in contacting & seeing their GP, despite GPs working 'as hard as possible'. Thank you @now_its_nora for highlighting the situation at your Practice.

Our IT system is running very slowly today, bringing significant challenges for the day-to-day working of the Practice. Wait time on the phone is currently very long, due to this. NHS Lothian & Vision IT have been informed & asked to find solutions to this long-running issue.
