Patient Access

Patient Access is a service available to all our patients.  It allows appointments to be booked online and via a smart phone.  The service has been available here for several years but we are now expanding it to cover all GP appointments and very soon to cover phlebotomy appointments too.

Patient Access also allows you to order repeat presecriptions.

In order to use Patient Access we need to set up an account for you.  This simply requires a form to be filled in and we will need to see some photographic identification.  This is a requirement of our software provider (EMIS) who run the service and is designed to protect you from other people accessing your medical record.  Once registered you will have a unique user name and can log on from the patient.co.uk website.  You can also access this from our own website.

You can also download the app for smart phones. Available for Android and iOS.

Book on the day GP appointments are available online via Patient Access first, even before we open.
