Email consultations with GPs
A new faster way to speak to your GP is planned to be piloted in April next year. Email consultations will hopefully be "widely available" by the end of next year.
Connecting for Health, which is developing the programme, expects it to be used for consultations not requiring face-to-face contact. The system could be used for management of patients with long-term conditions, repeat prescription requests and to triage demand for appointments.
