Help and Support To Get You Online
The NHS makes it easier for patients to manage their health using online services. For example ordering medicines or booking appointments.
We want to support as many patients as possible to use the NHS App and other online services. Yet, we know that not everyone finds it easy to use online services. That’s why Frome Medical Practice is supporting the Frome community by offering digital health support.
What are we doing to help patients get online?
We have a dedicated Digital Health Connector Team.
Our Digital Health Connectors are here to support patients. They can help with a range of digital health issues, including:
-
Downloading, setting up, and using the NHS App
-
Ordering repeat prescriptions
-
Accessing your medical health records (Learn about your GP health record)
-
Requesting appointments using our online appointment request form
-
Monitoring blood pressure
-
Setting up video consultations (Learn more about video consultations)
-
Online diabetes support
-
Using Frome Medical Practice's online forms
-
Help with anything else related to using technology or getting online
For help, contact the team through our online form. You can also meet them in person for help at one of our digital health support sessions detailed below.

Don't trash your old equipment - give it a second life!
We are working in partnership with a local organisation, DOnate IT. They aim to recycle and restore used devices to give to people in Frome who need them.
If you have an old phone, tablet or laptop please drop it off at one of our Digital Health sessions. No matter how old, it will be repaired and restored to factory settings. It can then be given free of charge to someone who really needs it. You can also drop off broken devices for recycling.
Need a device for yourself or someone else?
The DOnate IT scheme works on a referral basis. If you do not have access to a device and need one, please contact our Health Connections team to self-refer.
You can do this by filling in their online form or by calling 01373 468368
