Patient Access
The 'Patient Access' website is a national platform, run in partnership with NHS England, which allows patients across the country to access GP and Pharmacy services online.
If you register for an account for Patient Access, you will then be able to access a range of services at your Surgery. These include:
- Appointments Booking
- Repeat Prescription Ordering
- Viewing Your Test Results
- Change of Address or Telephone Number
- Viewing your summary medical record
- Acting on behalf of another individual (subject to the appropriate checks and permissions)
Please note:
Patient Access is an independent service provided and sponsored by NHS England. The team at your local surgery can only provide you with the means to set up an account. Once you have set your account up, the staff at your Surgery cannot access your account in any way.
NHS App
The NHS App is the simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services (including services provided by Patient Access) on your smartphone or tablet.
Find out more about the NHS App.
Note: You will need to register for Patient Access before you can use the NHS App to access Patient Access services.
