U.K. online service to register with a GP sees high uptake in first year

More than 425,000 patients used the Register with a GP surgery service in its first year. The NHS service saved GP surgery staff up to 15 minutes per registration by reducing paperwork and admin time. Forty-eight percent of all patients using the online tool registered outside normal GP surgery opening hours and 68% of patients using the service over the past 12 months were switching GPs.
