RFP PATIENT NEWSLETTER MAY 2026
Please find above our latest newsletter, with important information about changes going on in the practice to improve the appointment request system.
Patients will soon be able to submit online requests to our GPs directly from the NHS App or practice website.
From Tuesday 2nd June the practice will no longer be using PATCHs, but a much simpler system called AccuRx.
We believe Accurx will provide a much simpler and smoother experience for both patients and staff.
Benefits of AccuRx include:
- No separate account or password needed.
- If you use the NHS App, the system will recognise your details.
- Easier to submit requests for someone you care for.
- Fewer questions to complete, with the option to add extra details and photos if needed.
- Requests are reviewed and responded to by our dedicated regular GP team.
- Messages are saved directly to your medical record, making updates easier to view in the NHS App.
- We already use Accurx for text messages, appointment reminders and booking links, helping staff manage everything in one system.
- Most other Stockport practices already use Accurx for online requests.
- The service is approved and funded by NHS Greater Manchester ICB, helping practice savings go back into patient care
What Do I Need To Do?
- Continue to use PATCHs until Monday 1st june for online medical requests. Once we change system any outstanding messages in PATCHs will be updated into AccuRx.
- From Tuesday 2nd June the new link will be live on the practice website, or via the NHS APP.
- If you can, set up an NHS App account. Ask one of our receptionists, or look out for one of our Digital drop in sessions if you’d like help to do this
- If you do not have online access you can continue to call us on 0161 9839797 and one of our receptionists will be able to submit your requests for you.

New Heart Health Project in the Tame Valley Area 💙
We’re pleased to share that we are part of the new heart health project that’s started in GP surgeries across the Tame Valley area, supported by NW Hearts Charity.
This project is for people already living with heart disease, especially those who may have missed regular check-ups or cholesterol blood tests in the past year.
Why this matters:
Regular cholesterol checks help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes and we don’t want anyone to miss out on important care.
What’s happening:
GP teams will be identifying patients who may be overdue a cholesterol check and will be contacting them directly to offer:
Appointments will be flexible, with extra support available, including:
If you’re contacted, please don’t worry, it’s simply an invitation to support your heart health 💙
Thank you to NW Hearts Charity for supporting this important work in our community.
