Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a request to my Practice?

To make a request to your Practice select the service that you require.

You will be prompted for information about your request. When you complete a request this will be sent to your practice. The system acknowledges that your request has been sent and will let you know what happens next.

The Practice handles the requests during their normal working day, i.e. if you send a request on Friday pm the Practice won’t normally see it until Monday morning.

How do I receive the responses from the Practice?

On some services, such as Ask the Practice a question and Ask the Doctor a question once the Practice has processed your request they will send you a response. This response will be sent to the email address that you have given in the form.

For security purposes the email will ask that you verify your identification. Once you have completed this the message from the surgery will be shown for you to read.

Security of your information

This service always uses fully encrypted connections, the same security as used in internet banking. If you look at the right of the address bar, you will see a small padlock icon. This indicates that you are using a secure link and that your data is encrypted.

As an additional measure your information is held encrypted until the practice need to view it. It is then sent to the practice still encrypted and only converted to readable text at the practice.

NiamhPractice Nurse

Shortly after qualifying as a General Nurse in Dublin in 2011, I moved to the UK to progress my nursing career. Starting in respiratory care, I then transitioned to acute cardiac care where I worked for 9 years. I have completed many courses including Clinical Leadership, Cardiorespiratory care and History taking and physical examination. My passion was always to move to primary care to become a practice nurse. I enjoy the variety each day brings and being part of a caring, compassionate team. In my spare time, I enjoy jogging, listening to music, and dabble in crafts.
