Did you know you can set up a linked profile on your NHS App so you can manage services for another person (a child or adult you care for)? Also sometimes called proxy access, both you and the other person need to be patients at the practice for this to be possible.

Depending on the level of access given, you may be able to switch profiles and:

πŸ’Š order a repeat prescription for them
πŸ“… book appointments for the other person, for things like blood tests
πŸ“² view some or all of their GP health record

We will need to set up the linked profile for you. You can get in touch with us about this using our online form or come along to one of our digital health drop in sessions.

The link you need, along with all the info about our drop in sessions, is on our website - search 'digital health support' or click the link below:

Have you spotted the food donation point we've now got at the practice? You can find it close to our main information desk and we would love your help with filling it up.

Fair Frome relies heavily on community donations to keep the Frome food bank stocked. In 2024 , they received over 37 tonnes of donated food, which helped them give out over 1,200 food parcels and provide over 5,000 hot meals through the Food At Five Scheme.

None of this would be possible without donations and we want to help with this, as Fair Frome are such a key part of our local community. We are also currently supporting Fair Frome as our chosen charity. So, as a well used public space it makes sense to have a donation point in the practice.

So next time you're visiting or passing by please bring something along to add to the donations, if you can. You can keep up to date with current needs by downloading the free β€˜Bank the Food’ app from your App Store and following Fair Frome on social media. They find long life items and dried or tinned food most useful.

To see the most up-to-date list of needs please check the Fair Frome page.

Thank you for your help.

Do you need help with setting up or using the NHS App?
Do you need showing how you can order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App? Would you like to set up a linked profile on the NHS App so you can help someone else manage their health care?
Or perhaps you want someone to show you how to use our different online forms.

Tuesday 22nd July 10am to midday at the practice
Tuesday 22nd July 1pm to 3pm at Sainsbury's
Thursday 24th July 10am to 11.30am at the cafe in the Cheese and Grain
