Fantastic service as usual - notice up on website within 13 minutes of email being sent!

I cannot speak more highly of this company and thank them enough for the support that they provide to us. They make my job that little bit easier by taking away from me jobs giving me back time. They are so quick to action any requests. What a wonderful team and service thank you all.

Always prompt and efficient Helpdesk support - very impressive as always.

We are very happy with our website! The Silicon Practice team is excellent at responding and very helpful. Our website is easy to navigate, and Silicon Practice is constantly reviewing and updating as appropriate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company.

Superb and very quick service for a few changes I wanted to make to our website - delighted.

Having worked with Silicon Practice for many years, I have found them to be extremely supportive in the management of our website.

I have worked in primary care for nearly 30 years and this is by far the best website supplier I have used. Firstly it was very easy to set up, the system is flexible for your own use. The team are very responsive to requests and most importantly are compliant with all regulation and standards. With general practice becoming ever more complex, it's one area I can have confidence in and easily manage.
