Important Information – Please read before filling the form in online.
If you wish to, you can now use the internet to book appointments with a GP, request repeat prescriptions for any medications you take regularly and look at your medical record online.
It will be your responsibility to keep your login details and password safe and secure. If you know or suspect that your record has been accessed by someone that you have not agreed should see it, then you should change your password immediately.
If you can’t do this for some reason, we recommend that you contact the practice so that they can remove online access until you are able to reset your password.
If you print out any information from your record, it is also your responsibility to keep this secure. If you are at all worried about keeping printed copies safe, we recommend that you do not make copies at all.
To register for our online services you will need to complete this form:
Then then you must visit the practice, bringing with you two forms of identification. One of these items should include your photograph. We will then issue you a username and password.
As from 18th October 2023 NHS England have changed what patients can view in their own medical record online/in an app. You will now have full access to all your medical records after 18th October 2023. If you are new patient registering with us after this date, you will only get full access from the day you registered with us NOT any historic date from your last practice. If you were already registered with us prior to this date, you will be able to view all medical records from 18th October 2023, not anything prior to this date.
Before you apply for online access to your record, there are some other things to consider.
Although the chances of any of these things happening are very small, you will be asked that you have read and understood the following before you are given login details.
|
Forgotten history There may be something you have forgotten about in your record that you might find upsetting. |
|
Abnormal results or bad news If your GP has given you access to test results or letters, you may see something that you find upsetting to you. This may occur before you have spoken to your doctor or while the surgery is closed, and you cannot contact them. |
|
Choosing to share your information with someone It’s up to you whether you share your information with others – perhaps family members or carers. It’s your choice, but also your responsibility to keep the information safe and secure. |
|
Coercion If you think you may be pressured into revealing details from your patient record to someone else against your will, it is best that you do not register for access at this time. |
|
Misunderstood information Your medical record is designed to be used by clinical professionals to ensure that you receive the best possible care. Some of the information within your medical record may be highly technical, written by specialists and not easily understood. If you require further clarification, please contact the surgery for a clearer explanation. |
|
Information about someone else If you spot something in the record that is not about you or notice any other errors, please log out of the system immediately and contact the practice as soon as possible. |
There are other tasks you can do online, like:
- order repeat prescriptions
- view your test results
- see parts of your health record
- check or cancel appointments
- see your vaccination record
For these, you can use your NHS account or Patient Access. You can access them using their websites or apps.
