Patient Access
You can now book appointments and order repeat prescriptions online. Next time you're at the surgery, please ask one of our receptionists for a log in and password for Patient Access. You will need a form of photo ID - like a passport or driving licence. Once you have your log in details, you can create a Patient Access account, allowing you to book appointments and order medication online. See our Emis Access User Guide for further information
