Welcome to William hopwood Surgery
We have an online consultation service called PATCHS. You can access PATCHS by clicking the link above
Contacting using PATCHS instead of by telephone has a number of advantages for you including:
• Getting help quicker from a GP
• No queuing on the telephone.
• Ability to submit requests any time day or night (though we can only respond during our opening hours).
• Doing everything on there, prescriptions, consultations, sick notes, checking results etc. Though you shouldn’t
use it for emergencies.
• Submitting requests on behalf of someone you care for.
• Using PATCHS also has advantages for us including:
• Seeing what your request is up front in writing helps us plan our work better.
• Freeing up the telephone for people that cannot use PATCHS e.g. those with emergency problems or if they
cannot physically use the internet.
• Helping us save face-to-face and telephone appointments for patients that really need them.
• Helps us reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus to other patients and our staff
