What is Patient Access?
With Patient Access, you can now view, book and cancel appointments at your local GP surgery from home, work or on the move — wherever you can connect to the internet. What is more, because Patient Access is a 24 hour online service you can do this in your own time, day or night.
Update April 2020 – online appointment functionality is suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic
Plus, Patient Access is not just for booking GP appointments, you can also:
- Order repeat prescriptions.
- View part of your medical records (current repeat medications and documented allergies).
(if you want more detailed access to your online medical record then please speak to the receptionist who will arrange a routine appointment for you to discuss matters further with Dr Yick.)
