OUTSTANDING GP WEB SITES AT NOMINAL COST
 
As part of the recently accepted new GP contract the government is demanding that GP practices become more accessible and how better to achieve this aim than to have a professional presence on the web?

Rather than sell a site to the practice for hundreds of pounds, Yellow Creative Ltd of Kettering are offering the use of a professionally designed, practice specific, navigable off-the-shelf site from a choice of ten templates for the nominal sum of £20/month plus VAT subject to material being sent in a digital format.   Small additional charges are made for hard copy submissions.

The company will even buy the domain name for the practice for just £6.99/year (plus VAT) and maintain the site on a daily basis including all amendments  and changes.

Included in the service is a downloadable PDF Practice Booklet which may be printed off by patients or staff whenever they wish.  Not only that but whenever the website is updated, so is the booklet making out-of-date practice booklets a thing of the past.

An additional extremely useful feature is the repeat medicines on-line order form.  All patients have to do is to fill in the names, dosage and quantity of their approved repeat medicines and click for the order to appear in the surgery.

To access the service the practice just needs to send its own text in a digital format (MS Word or similar) and its own digitally prepared photographs of the doctors, staff, premises or whatever it chooses and the rest will be done by Yellow Creative.

If the practice has no photographs then generic medical photographs can be provided free of charge.

All this for the tax-allowable sum of just £20/month or £220/year (both plus VAT).
