The New GP Patient Access Charter

Wednesday October 1st 2025 to Friday October 17th 2025

GP practices must be contactable in person, by phone, and online from 8.00–18.30, Monday–Friday.

 

Patients must be told what will happen next within one working day (no more being told to ‘just call back tomorrow’).

 

Practices must treat people fairly, with reasonable adjustments for those who need extra help, and cannot refuse registration for reasons such as immigration status or lack of a fixed address.

 

Patients have the right to request a preferred clinician, and to raise concerns via the practice manager, the NHS Integrated Care Board, or Healthwatch.

 

Read more about what this means for you: www.healthwatchcornwall.co.uk

 

But bear in mind.... demand on GP services is high. This Charter doesn't create more appointments but should make it clearer and fairer to get one.

New imaging technology transforms Cornish cancer care

Monday October 6th 2025 to Friday October 17th 2025 at the Royal Cornwall Hospital

Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) is proud to announce the arrival of HyperSight, cutting-edge imaging technology that is revolutionising radiotherapy for cancer patients in Cornwall.

Thanks to generous funding from the Sunrise Appeal, this advanced imaging software module is now in use with RCHT’s newly upgraded radiotherapy machines. HyperSight delivers exceptionally clear images of tumours and surrounding tissue in just 45 seconds, allowing clinicians to plan and deliver treatment with greater speed, safety, and precision.

HyperSight was installed in September on a brand-new Linear Accelerator (Linac) in the Sunrise Centre. Linacs use high energy x-rays or electron beams to precisely target tumours and destroy cancer cells (with millimetre accuracy) whilst minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Unlike previous imaging systems, HyperSight enables radiographers to use the full range of imaging options in more detail. Not only is the HyperSight able to deliver images of exceptional quality, the speed of image acquisition also means patients spend less time on the treatment bed. For breast cancer patients, for example, who need to hold their breath during treatment, images can now be captured in just one or two breaths, making the experience more comfortable and less stressful.

RCHT is proud to be the first organisation in the southwest to use HyperSight, marking a major step forward for cancer services in Cornwall.
