Sign Up for Online Access to Order Prescriptions
Instead of phoning, emailing or visiting the surgery to order prescriptions you can now do it all online, and it’s quick, easy and secure. Not only can you book appointments with the practice, you can also book other services, such as Blood Profiles and Physiotherapy too. A carer, with your permission, may also do this on your behalf. Registering for online services is simple and FREE. All you need to do is:
Request the online linkage codes from us, once these codes are generated they expire in 7 days (you can request new codes at any time.) There are several services we recommend, we suggest using one, but you can have a Patient Access and NHS app account:
1) Patient Access (app/ website)
ATTENTION Please be aware of scams and emails from agencies pretending to represent Patient Access. all emails from Patient Access will come via an email address that ends in @patientaccess.com.
See this link for more information on the Patient Access Security Page.

2) Scroll down to the Link a practice or user section.
