Patient Access 2.8.10

Patient Access is a comprehensive platform that connects you to essential healthcare services whenever you need them. With Patient Access, you can conveniently book GP appointments, order repeat prescriptions, and explore a wide range of local pharmacy services.

Excitingly, Patient Access now offers a new feature that allows you to create an account without linking it to your UK GP practice. This means you can enjoy the following benefits:

• Search for symptoms and access informative patient articles when you're feeling unwell
• Self-refer to various NHS services, including talking therapies, sexual health support, antenatal care, and drug and alcohol addiction services
• Access over 30 services provided by your local community pharmacy and book appointments directly through the app
• Book face-to-face or video appointments for a range of healthcare services such as physiotherapy and counseling
• Access and read expert medical advice and healthy living tips
• Enjoy quick and secure sign-in using Touch or Face ID
• Easily check if you can link your account to your GP

If you are able to link your Patient Access account to your GP practice, you'll have even more features at your disposal where they are made available by your practice:

• Book face-to-face or remote online appointments with your GP, nurse, or clinician at a time that suits you
• Request repeat prescriptions online and conveniently have them delivered to your preferred pharmacy
• View your medical record, including test results, allergies, and immunizations
• Securely share your medical record with healthcare professionals of your choosing without contacting your practice
• Take care of your loved ones by booking appointments and repeat prescriptions on their behalf
• Message your GP directly from within Patient Access, whether you're at home or on the move
• Book remote video consultations with your GP, nurse, or clinician where enabled by your practice

It's important to note that to enjoy the GP-linked features in Patient Access, you must be a registered patient at a participating practice.
