Additional information for digital leaders - June 2023

GP practices using the Register with a GP surgery service save up to 15 minutes per patient registration. The service is free for GP practices and patients to use, and is now available on the NHS App.

More than 1000 practices are now using this service, with more than 270,000 registration forms successfully submitted. We’ve created a dashboard to show how many practices are enrolled at a practice, regional or national level.

Our resource hub has more information, and you’re welcome to join our webinar on 14 June.
