Are you too busy to think about creating your website and keeping it up to date? Let us do it for you!
​
Patients expect an online presence from everything they interact with these days, and the look and feel of your website can influence how your patients perceive your practice. We believe that every GP practice should have a website and that it can improve the patient experience and the efficiency of the practice. Our bespoke forms and constantly updated resources are what set us apart from non-specialised website developers, as we know exactly what is needed by GP practices to operate effectively.
​
We have a streamlined process to get your website up and running within 6-8 weeks. Most importantly, the annual licence fee covers the maintenance and management of your site - we will update the information and features as necessary over time so you don't end up with an out of date website!
We like to be proactive:
-
Changes to State Contracts, such as eligibility for free contraception? We update the patient information on your website automatically.
-
Seasonal changes such as autumn/winter vaccine clinics or significant changes such extension to DVCs/Under 8s? We contact all clients with options for patient communication via your website.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:
​
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for creating our amazing GP practice website. After months of searching website designers and getting extensive quotes, I felt at a loss. Not only the price aspect but I found that these designers did not specify in GP practice website and therefore did not know exactly what we would need. I imagined we would have to play a huge part in getting it up and running and we simply did not have the time.
When you reached out to me via GP Practice Ally, I couldn’t believe my luck. Having set up your own practice website and with extensive knowledge in the medical field, it felt it was the best choice. You set aside an appointment, found out exactly what we needed and got to work straight away. The communication was excellent from the word go. We had regular Zoom calls to visually go through the website until launch day. I loved your attention to detail and fast thinking creative mind.
Having now used the website for a few months, I can confirm that is has really benefited our practice. Our patients love it. It is so interactive allowing patients to request repeat prescriptions, update personal details, it has application forms and useful links. It has also reduced phone calls to reception which our staff love!
From all of us here at Ridgewood Medical Centre, thank you so much.

Website Features
The features below set us apart from your average, non-specialised website developer.
Bespoke Forms
Our range of bespoke forms allow patients with routine queries to contact the practice easily and at their convenience, freeing up phone lines in the process. This also improves the quality of information received at reception, thus reducing time wasted chasing incomplete information and allowing staff to respond in a safe and timely manner when it is appropriate to do so.
Health Resources
All our websites come with a lot of useful health information & resources (sourced from reputable organisations) and downloadable standard application forms e.g. medical card application form/online application link. We will keep an eye out for any new resources or forms and update your website when necessary. You can also add additional content or documents any time you like.
Practice policies
We include numerous practice policies as standard on our websites, such as the ICGP Privacy Statement (including website specific notices), Equality & Respect, and a Complaints Policy (HIQA require all practices to make this readily available).
practice logo
A new website is the perfect opportunity to launch a new logo and identity for your practice, helping to set you apart from other practices and present a fresh, professional image to patients and other stakeholders. We can assist you in creating a logo for your practice by connecting you with our graphic designer (priced separately, but very reasonably).
Secure
All websites have the most robust storage encryption standard commercially available and come with HTTPS, TLS 1.2+ and automatic SSL for encryption in transit so that your business site data (i.e. user data) is protected as it moves location, giving you and your patients confidence and trust in your online services.
Responsive
Unlike older websites, your website images and text will automatically adapt to all devices. With so many people using mobile devices to access the internet, a responsive site is essential.
Engaging
Our websites are designed to present the most important information and online services to patients in a clear and concise manner - the patient experience is at the heart of what we do. The simple and effective layout of your website makes it easy for patients to navigate to what they need promptly.
Hosting
Enjoy enterprise-grade reliability so your website is always up and running on our secure and stable networks. Extensive hacker testing and DDoS protection make sure you have secure and reliable servers for your site.
Domain
All plans include a custom domain. If you already have a domain we can connect this easily to your site. You can also build patient trust by setting up custom email addresses with your own domain - we can advise you how do this.
Site Backup
Your site history is backed up at all times - if you make a change and something goes wrong, you can always restore to a previous version of your site.
Online Payments
We can set you up with an online payments system to take pre-payments for repeat prescriptions and other items.
Easy to Edit
You do not need any technical knowledge to edit your site yourself - it's easy to keep information up-to-date at all times. The drag-and-drop editing tools are intuitive and easy to understand. Everything you need to know to update and maintain your website is provided in the online help centre.
