Granta Medical Practices - October news
Here at Granta, we are always looking at new ways to connect with our patients and help assist them with their health care journey.
One of the options we are currently considering is a mobile telephone app called Airmid; a patient-facing app designed for patients and GP surgeries alike. From viewing upcoming appointments to video consultations, viewing your medical records and ordering your medication, you can manage all your health care needs in one place. There is also the option of incorporating and tracking your own personal health goals with Apple Health and Google Fit.
Airmid is a simple, secure app which you can log into using your NHS app login or your SystmOnline account. An NHS app login can also be created directly via Airmid.
Over the next few weeks we are planning to trial this mobile app with a number of pre-selected patients to test its suitability. If you have the NHS app, why not download Airmid and take a look? We would welcome any feedback you may have.
We are looking for our next councillor to join us and become actively involved in the direction and the future of the village.
If you are passionate about ensuring our community voice is heard and actioned, can commit time and energy and are motivated to making a difference then we’d love to hear from you.
We need people from all backgrounds and experiences who reflect our community. Your life experience, communication skills, passion and commitment to people and communities are what is important.

We will be asking interested individuals to attend the next Parish Council Meeting on April 13th to meet the council and give a short presentation on why they wish to be considered.
We will be holding our annual village meeting on Wednesday May 13th from 19:30 in the Town House. Our local MP Chris Hinchliff will be joining us from 20:00 for a Q&A session.

There will be light refreshments and a pizza van on site which you can pre purchase your supper or order on the night. Our local clubs and societies will be present and sharing what they have been up to and their plans for the year ahead. Do come and join us.
