My patients just won’t use it
• The average Access practice has 540 active
patients using it, the top practice over 8,000
• For many patients, online access is now an
expectation
• Two thirds of the 600m+ customer contacts
received by English local authorities each year
are now coming in through onlinehttp://www.socitm.net/news/article/143/two

There will be too much overhead
for my practice
• Experienced practices agree Access is a huge time-saver
• Medical record viewing on the health agenda
• See the Common Room, and speak to your OM about advanced training

booking appropriately
