Patient Access
SEE FOR YOURSELF
In cooperation with EMIS, our computer systems supplier, patients are able to book routine GP appointments and order repeat medication online. Patients can also now apply for access to view their medical records, including medications, allergies, immunisations, results, consultations and problems/diagnoses.
Getting Started - Register
You must be over 16 years to use this service. Firstly register to use the Internet appointment booking facility. Ask the receptionist about details of how to register. Once you have applied for registration you will receive a form containing various details, which you will need to enter on the registration screen when you first visit the EMIS website. After registering, you log on with your patient number and a password. You will then be able to view appointments you have already made, cancel them if necessary, and book an appointment with your doctor after checking the times available.

Security
We take the security of our patients' information very seriously. By working with EMIS, the company that provides the computer systems for this practice, we can ensure that the information you provide when using the Internet facility is protected.
All communications with the practice web site are encrypted, using the same high security that major banks use for their Internet transactions (128 bit SSL). Only you can see the personal information you enter. The website is administered at a remote high–security site managed by EMIS, not at the practice, so there is no possibility of unauthorised access.
Using the most up–to–date version of your web browser also improves security of information. Remember to close the browser after use, especially if someone else could access your computer.
