Using online services gives you another way of requesting services or getting advice and information at a time that suits you. Many patients find that that this is more convenient and saves time. Find out more about GP online services on the NHS website. This includes more information including “how to” leaflets and videos of patients and why they are using GP online services.
You can still contact the practice by phone or visit if you prefer.
There are three different online services.
Patient Online Service (SystmOnline)
Accurx
You can use Accurx to seek help and advice and to request a service in the same way as you would if you telephone us or call into the practice. Things you can do using Accurx:
- Seek medical help for a new or ongoing symptom
- Request a sick note
- View test results
- Get a repeat prescription
If you are seeking help for a medical issue, you can send an Accurx form to explain your symptoms and request an appointment with a member of practice staff. We aim to respond to your query within the next 5 working days. If the nature of your problem requires more urgent assistance, or your symptoms change or worsen after submitting your e-consultation please phone the main surgery number, 01462 417377.
We will use the information you provide to decide on the right care for you, in the same way as you would if you contact us by phone or by visiting the surgery.
Using Accurx allows you to get help and advice quickly and safely without having to spend time on the phone.
