“I think it would be fair to say that we find e-triage to be simple, effective and convenient” Dr Colin Clark, Lead Clinician Dermatology North East Glasgow
“The system is very fast and easy to use. Referrals should no longer get lost in the post!” Dr Miles Fisher, Clinical Director Medicine North East Glasgow
“E-triage has been helpful in reducing the massive piles of paper we used to have to deal with, and reduces the chance of referrals going astray. We would welcome the few remaining practices who still do not routinely send electronic referrals switching to this method….”Prof Colin Munro & Dr Felicity Campbell, Dermatology South Glasgow
“We have found eTriage to be very helpful to keep track of all referrals coming in and we would encourage other specialties to use the system” Jean Cherry & Irene Miller, Health Records Senior Supervisors, Stobhill Hospital
