Patient Access
Some of you will already be aware that it is possible to book and cancel your own appointments online using a unique pin number and password provided to you by reception. You can do this wherever you can connect to the Internet and it is available 24 hours a day. This facility was previously called emis access but has now changed its name to Patient Access. Patient Access is available to any patient who is registered with this practice.
We are now expanding the Patient Access service as online booking has proved so popular. It is now possible for patients who have registered with the service to order their own repeat prescriptions and use a secure messaging facility to communicate with the GPs. You can also notify us of changes of address and in a few months time we will be able to preregister new patients wishing to join the practice using this electronic portal.
The longer term plan is that eventually all patients will be able to access their NHS general practice medical record securely and online wherever they are in the world. This last objective will take us a little longer to realise but we are working towards it.
You can read more about this or register for the service using on of the links below:
