Summary

askmyGP is an online consultation tool for general practice. Patients can use it to detail their medical problem, which is then sent directly to their practice, or to access self-help or medical information. Golden Brook Practice, serving the market town of Long Eaton, uses askmyGP because they believe patients should be able to contact their practice at any time.
