Wokingham Wokingham are now able to cope with increasing demand from patients using advanced digital technology. The ‘digital revolution’ enables patients to book appointments, order prescriptions and access health records at the comforts of their own home.

 

Wokingham borough councillors said that they are now working on providing comprehensive coverage of digital features on their website.

 

Debbie Milligan, the GP lead for the Wokingham locality of Berkshire West CCG, said: “One size does not fit all. Just because it is available does not mean it is going to be used.”

 

However, she continued: “The people that use these services are not the people you expect.

 

“Some of it is already being used. It is not all young adults, it is older people as well.

 

“Previously we had people coming in and telling us they were unwell, but now we can actively start planning with them.

 

“But we are not going to get rid of face to face or telephone – they will still exist.”
