Benefits of SurgeryPod with our Microtech Nurse Denise

Health Jul 2022

We are delighted to have Denise Gath, a registered nurse, on our team here at Microtech Group.

Denise is the main point of contact for GP Practices who have a SurgeryPod installed.

Day to day, Denise speaks with GP Practice's all over the UK discussing any questions or queries that SurgeryPod customers may have.
She is a great support to us and point of contact for our customers.

 

Denise's benefits of SurgeryPod
"The SurgeryPod is a secure computer system designed to save clinicians' time and encourage patient self-monitoring.

Sited in GP waiting and reception areas, the SurgeryPod accurately records patient data and takes health readings, before any face-to-face appointment.

The user-friendly Telehealth care system aids patients and clinicians to collect data and monitor physical and psychological health, via vital signs and validated health questionnaires."

What our GP Practices have to say...

"We use the POD as part of QOF which is an annual review we carry out for patients. The patients can come in and record their own height, weight and BP which is then passed onto their doctor as part of their chronic medical health check review."

"If a patient needs a Pill Check they can record the answers on the POD prior to their appointment with the nurse."

"We do use the POD for private medicals if they need a medical for HGV licence or DVLA medicals."

"We have and will continue to invite patients who require a BP reading to use the pod as a first option. This should save hundreds of nurse appointments."
