Questions practice managers ask
How much does gpsites.co.uk cost?
£395 a year per practice, or £35 a month, with no VAT to add and no setup fee. We won't charge you while you switch over: you pay nothing until your old supplier's contract ends, for up to 90 days.
Is gpsites.co.uk approved by the NHS?
We're an independent supplier, not part of the NHS. Our sites are built to NHS England's published guidance and benchmark.
What does our team actually have to do?
Not much, and the website tells you when. Each month someone uploads the Friends and Family Test results. Every 6 months you check each page is still right, and once a year you update your GP net earnings and review your privacy notice. Anything that's due shows on your admin home when you sign in, with a button that takes you straight to it.
Do we have to write the pages ourselves?
No. You answer short questions about your practice, like how patients book and order prescriptions, and we write the pages in plain English. You can add a short note of your own to each topic.
Can reception post a closure without access to everything?
Yes. Give them an editor account. Editors can post news, add closures and notices, and upload Friends and Family results. Only practice managers can change practice details, settings and who has access.
What if we forget to take a notice down?
Give it an end time and it comes down on its own. You can also schedule one ahead, like a training afternoon next month. Whatever is showing on your website is listed on your admin home, so nothing is forgotten.
Does it work with our online consultation tool?
Yes. We link clearly to whichever tool you use.
Can we keep our .nhs.uk address?
Yes. We connect your existing domain, or help you apply for one.
We're still in a contract with our current supplier. Can we start now?
Yes. We build your new site now and switch it on when your contract ends. We won't charge you while you switch over: you pay nothing until your old supplier's contract ends, for up to 90 days.
Can a PCN or ICB pay for it?
Yes. We can invoice the PCN directly, and groups of three or more practices pay £345 each.
Are there any extra charges?
No. Updates, new pages, users and support are all included.
Who is responsible for what our website says?
Your practice is. Your team writes, checks and publishes everything patients read, including any starter content you keep, and the dashboard reminds you when pages are due for review. We host the website and keep the platform working. We don't give medical advice or check clinical content.
