GP online services allow you to access a range of services via your computer, mobile or tablet. Once you have signed up, you will be able to:
- book or cancel appointments online
- renew or order repeat prescriptions online
- view parts of your GP record, including information about medication, allergies and vaccinations
You can still contact the practice by phone or in person, this is just another option, which other patients have found is more convenient and saves them time. More information including “how to” leaflets and videos of patients and why they are using GP online services are available at www.nhs.uk/gponlineservices
How to sign-up
For more information, please contact reception or next time you visit the surgery, bring with you a piece of photo ID (passport, driving licence) and something with your address on like a bank statement but not a gas or electric bill. If you don’t have these, please talk to us and we will help you sign-up. We also require your email address and up to date mobile number.
There are many way in which you can access our services online. There are several apps available to Apple and Android users, and websites for those who prefer not to use a mobile phone or tablet. Patient Access is the new website for using these services, and can be reached at www.patientaccess.com. Here you will be prompted to either Log In or Register if it is your first time using the site, and from there you can continue to appointments or to view and request any repeat medication.
