This podcast is hosted by Ian Jones, Implementation lead, Register with a GP surgery service, NHS England.

The Register with a GP surgery service enables healthcare workers to take patient registrations online quickly and easily.

It is free to all practices in England and designed to reduce administrative burden on GP practice teams by gathering patient information and matching it to health records.

It is also designed to significantly reduce barriers for people wanting to access primary care services. It integrates seamlessly with other NHS services and has a high satisfaction rate, with 95% of patients reporting a positive experience.

In this episode we’ll discuss the reasons why a national digital service benefits both practices and patients and what support is available to help GP practice staff get up and running.
