🗣️ THERE IS NEVER ANYONE IN THE WAITING ROOM?

👂This is something that we hear a lot and we get it. You see that there are no patients waiting so we must not be seeing anybody and aren’t busy right?

👩‍💻We’d like to reassure you that we are not quiet, we’re just busy in different ways

🪑An empty waiting room doesn’t mean GP surgeries aren’t working hard

👨‍⚕️Behind the scenes, GP teams are:

📊 Managing results

💊 Signing prescriptions

⌨️ Typing up referrals

📞 Phone calls to patients & other care providers

🌐 Dealing with online requests

🦺 Safeguarding those that need it

💼 Home visits

✉️ Dealing with incoming hospital letters

📋And the list goes on…..

👀This iceberg shows just a glimpse of the work that often goes unseen

💙 Thank you for your patience and understanding whilst we do our best to care for you and your families 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

👩‍⚕️ We’re Improving Your Consultation Experience

💻 We have introduced a new digital tool called Heidi to support your clinician during consultations.

💬 What does this mean for you?
Heidi is an AI assistant that helps create clinical notes during your appointment — so your clinician can spend less time typing and more time listening to you👂

🖥️ How it helps
✔️ Allows your clinician to focus fully on the conversation
✔️ Produces accurate clinical notes from the discussion
✔️ Notes are always checked, edited and approved by your clinician

🔐 Safe & secure
✔️ Information is handled securely and confidentially

🙋Your choice
Using Heidi is completely optional. Your clinician will always ask for your consent at the beginning of EVERY Consultation.

✋You can say no at any time — this will never affect your care.

📅 This has now been rolled out. This means that you may find that you may be asked about this in upcoming appointments

💙 We appreciate your patience and understanding while we introduce and settle into this new system
