The charity has a clear vision, to fund the little things that can make a big difference to older people’s lives.

Groups, organisations and charities across the UK who work with the elderly can apply for a donation to fund an event, activity or pastime that will make their members smile.

As part of changes to the General Medical Services contract in England for 2015/16, GP practices are required to expand and improve the provision of online services for patients.  They are also required to promote the online services they provide, which should include:

• Appointment bookings
• Ordering repeat prescriptions
• Amending personal details
• Access to summary information held in patient’s records

A national GP patient survey carried out in England in 2014 found that 34% of patients said their preferred method of booking a GP appointment would be online. However, just a year on, the same survey found that only 6% of patients had booked a GP appointment online.

This questionnaire aims to gain an understanding as to what extent Derbyshire residents are aware of the on-line GP services that are available to them and to find out if people are actually using them.   The results will be analysed to identify possible causes of low-level engagement with online GP services, as well as to identify any potential barriers to accessing them.
