Online Access to Clinical Documents
Updated 29/08/2024 – We can confirm that the previous issue with documents through online services has now been resolved and we have now enabled online document viewing again. Thank you for your patience and we again apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
NHS App
Try the NHS App. If you’re a patient at our practice you can now use the new NHS App, a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet. You can use the NHS App to get health advice, order repeat prescriptions, manage your hospital referrals, view your GP health record and more. If you already use Patient Access you can continue to use it but you can use the NHS App as well. For more information go to www.nhs.uk/nhsapp.
What the NHS App does
- get advice about coronavirus – get information about coronavirus and find out what to do if you think you have it.
- order repeat prescriptions – see your available medicines, request a new repeat prescription and choose a pharmacy for your prescriptions to be sent to.
- book appointments – search for, book and cancel appointments at your GP surgery, and see details of your upcoming and past appointments.
- check your symptoms – search trusted NHS information and advice on hundreds of conditions and treatments, and get instant advice or medical help near you.

Linked Profiles / Proxy Access
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to manage services for another person by switching to their profile. This is also sometimes called having a linked profile or having proxy access.
It needs to be set up by a GP surgery where you and the other person are both registered. You can then switch profiles using the NHS App or by logging in through the NHS website.
Please note the following:
- We do not grant proxy users access to detailed medical records. Only access to appointments, prescriptions and demographic data will be available.
- Access will be suspended automatically once a patient reaches the age of 11 until the account has been approved again by the Surgery
- For patients aged 11 to 12, an appointment with a GP will be required to discuss this access further
- Access will be revoked automatically once a patient reaches the age of 16.
