Patient Access Statement of Intent
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR PATIENT ACCESS
You must be a fully registered patient, and need a letter from us containing personalised access codes. To get this letter you need to come to Reception and ask for registration for Patient Access. You will need to show some photo ID e.g. passport/driving licence. The Receptionist will ask you to complete the relevant form(s). You will be texted/emailed or asked to collect your registration letter containing your access codes, this process can take up to 28 working days. Once you receive your access codes you can connect to the web site at any time and register.
WHAT ID CAN I USE
We ideally require photographic identification. The following documents are accepted: current signed passport, current photo driving licence, disabled drivers pass, EU national ID card, current student ID. Or an OAP travel pass. In special circumstances and for children we will accept a birth certificate.
WHAT ABOUT MY PARTNER/CHILDREN?
We ask all patients 11 years and older to complete their own online patient access form. They will then be provided with their own login details.
We understand it is not always easy to get to the surgery, so we will accept collection of forms by family members but we do ask that each patient signs their own form(s), and presents themselves for our reception staff to witness.
