!! SYSTEM CHANGES !!
!! CLINICAL SYSTEM CHANGE !!
We are happy to announce our new clinical system is now LIVE!
Your patience and understanding throughout this change has been appreciated.
We are now open and operating as normal and you may access our services in the normal way.
CHANGE OF ONLINE SERVICE AT VERITAS
To improve patient care, our Practice has moved from EMIS Web to the more reliable SystmOne system. This change will help us provide faster, smoother, and more connected care.
As part of this move, our online services option have also changed.
EMIS Online is no longer available for our patients, which means that access to medical records, ordering prescriptions, and booking appointments will need to be accessed via SystmOnline or the NHS APP.
Patients will need to re-register for SystmOnline and the NHS App.
SYSTMONLINE
SystmOnline requires requesting access in person at reception and providing ID to confirm identity to set up your SystmOnline account.
NHS APP
We encourage patients to register for the NHSApp due to ease of access.
The NHS App allows you to pass identity checks remotely and then link to your GP medical record and practice services.
PRACTICE SUPPORT
To support patients through this process, we will provide helpful information and drop-in sessions to assist anyone who needs help with registration to SytsmOnline or the NHSAPP.
Please see the below attachment for further information.

Veritas Health Centre takes the top spot in Sheffield for this year’s GP Patient Survey
The Sheffield GP surgeries where patients have the best experience have been revealed.
Ipsos administered the GP Patient Survey 2024 on behalf of NHS England, sending out 2.5 million questionnaires across the country at the beginning of the year.
It asks about local GP practice services, the last contact with the practice, the quality of care at the last appointment, overall view of the GP practice, and more.
As can be seen on the Sheffield Star website. Veritas Health Centre came out with the highest score with 99% of respondents saying their overall experience at the practice had been good.
