They can also give you direct access to your medical records and test results, which was previously only possible by phoning or visiting your local surgery.  The online services are designed to supplement, not replace, the standard services provided by The Barcellos Family Practice. 

Online services comprise various apps for mobile devices (smartphones or tablets) and internet-based services for use on computers and laptops.

The main advantage of using online services is that they are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week; however, they also offer many other advantages and benefits.  The use of online services also saves the Practice time and resources.
