Help improve the NHS App and NHS website
To understand how the NHS App and NHS website (NHS.uk) can better meet the needs of GP practices, NHS Digital would like to know if and how practices are using them with patients and what is and isn’t working well. This will help find opportunities for future improvements.
They want to hear from GP practice staff who do, and don’t, use the NHS App and NHS website. To participate, please complete this 10-15 minute survey before 23 February -
