Simplifying the patient journey
Tried and tested
You’re in safe hands with GPsurgery.net. We began providing GP practice websites in 2005 and since then our website platform has evolved to become a trusted primary care online resource used by thousands of patients every day.
Our websites are digitally inclusive, accessible* and clutter free. Professionally written text and accessible design make our websites easy to use for everyone. An automatic translation tool helps communication across your whole community, including patients whose first language isn’t English.
With GPsurgery.net you can customise your website, adding your practice logo and colour scheme so your patients know they are in the right place. Your website will work equally well across all devices – mobiles, tablets and desktop computers.
We work constantly with practices and patients to find ways of improving the GPsurgery.net primary care platform.
Save time
Your practice website should work hard for you. GPsurgery.net websites have a carefully designed home page to signpost your patients to the most appropriate help. The result? Reduced calls and fewer unnecessary e-consults and requests for appointments.
Built-in NHS health information and symptom checkers help your patients self-serve instantly.
Optional online forms include registration and self-referral forms that allow patients to book their own appointments for physio, talking therapy and other services.
There are also forms to allow patients to update their contact details and consent for communications.
Feel supported
Our support team responds to requests quickly – usually within a few hours.
When your website is launched, you’ll be offered personalised online training on how to manage your website content.
You’ll also have access to our online support portal which offers an extensive library of tips and advice on how to keep your website updated.
Update your patients
You can publish special alerts on your home page for essential patient notifications and a news stream for latest practice updates.
A powerful search tool leads your patients to the information they need every time, with a click, a tap or a swipe.
Share health information with your patients
Your website comes fully loaded with digital content, created by a specialist healthcare writer.
Easy for your patients to read and understand, the focus is on short sentences and simple language. Take a look at our demo site, School House Surgery.
You control the content to fit the workflow at your practice.
Allow patients to book appointments directly
A GP practice website is a great way to direct patients to the online options for managing their appointments.
GPsurgery.net websites are designed with online services in mind, allowing patients to book and cancel appointments online. This could save your team hours of admin time.
Promote key public health campaigns
Your GP practice website is a key way to inform your patients about the latest health news.
With a GPsurgery.net website, this information is built-in through our Latest Health News banner. This is updated regularly with country-specific public health campaigns.

GP practice website FAQs
Do I need a GP practice website?
Doctors are required to have an online presence by law, but your website should do more than tick a legal checkbox.
Having a GP practice website can save time for your patients and reduce the admin burden for your team.
With online forms to collect information from patients and easy access to online services, your patients will be able to do more independently.
