Stanground Surgery Health Kiosk

Stanground Surgery has installed a dedicated ‘health kiosk’

This means that patients can check their blood pressure, weight and other statistics at any time during opening hours. It is easy to use as there are on screen prompts on the touch screen to guide users through the process.

It only takes about ten minutes and all of the equipment used is calibrated to give more accurate readings than you might have from equipment at home.

Information is automatically added to a patient’s clinical record. This means that the clinician will have your most up to date information prior to an appointment, leaving more time on the day to deal with your specific concerns.

The health kiosk is located behind a screen in the waiting area. There is no need to book so if it is vacant then go and try it for yourself. You will be guided by on screen prompts on the touch screen and it only takes about ten minutes from start to finish.

There are 11 different ‘care pathways’ loaded on to the machine, including a general health check plus others targeted at new patients plus specific conditions including arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease and mental health.

Practice Manager Lyndsay Cocks said:

"We are happy to have a new health kiosk at Stanground Surgery and hope our patients will try it out. It’s easy to use. By using the kiosk before appointments, patients can help us make the most of their visit. We can also send messages to specific groups, like those coming in for asthma or diabetes check-ups, to use the kiosk beforehand. Patients can drop in anytime to check their weight or blood pressure. If the surgery is open and the kiosk is available, we encourage everyone to use it. The health kiosk at New Queen Street Surgery is very popular with patients, and we look forward to hearing what our patients think here at Stanground Surgery."
