We’re almost two weeks into our Total Triage system, thank you for all the feedback we have received so far!

We know it’s a change and may take some getting used to, we are reviewing feedback and making tweaks to the system along the way, but we’re already seeing the benefits:
✅ More patients using our Accurx online triage form
✅ Shorter phone call wait times
✅ Faster, fairer access to care

How to submit a request:
🖥 Use the Accurx Triage Form via our website www.chingfordmedicalpractice.nhs.uk

This helps the GP assess your needs and arrange the right care, whether this be an appointment at the practice, signposting to a local service, or a message with advice!

What happens next?
The practice will contact you with an outcome of your request!

Bladder cancer is a serious condition, but early detection can make a big difference. Learn about the signs, symptoms, and treatments by visiting https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/bladder-cancer/

David's story is not just about his fight against cancer but also about the power of community support. He talks about how his wife found a bladder cancer forum that connected him with others facing similar challenges. Inspired, David started his own support group – a supportive space where patients and carers share stories and offer mutual support.

Now back to full health, David shares his unrestricted life post-recovery and emphasises the importance of seeking medical advice at the first sign of trouble. His message is clear: early detection and the right support can lead to a full and rewarding life after bladder cancer.

Watch David's story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Nqt-Fm_8c)

Stay informed and proactive about your health. If you notice any unusual symptoms, don't hesitate to see your GP. 💪💛
