What is Patient Access?

With Patient Access, you can order repeat medications, view, book and cancel appointments at your GP surgery from home, work or on the move — wherever you can connect to the internet.

 

Because Patient Access is a 24 hour online service you can do this in your own time, day or night.

 

You may also be able to apply to see other information, including test results, in your online medical record too.

A Patient Access information leaflet, I.D checklist and registration form will be available from your GP surgery, if they use Patient Access.

PLEASE NOTE: Some GP surgeries that do use Patient Access may have not yet set up all of its features, please contact your GP surgery for more details.
