The following IT systems are in use at the practice:

• Referral Management (using NHS numbers in referrals)
• Electronic Appointment Booking (the facility to book routine appointments online and, similarly, to cancel appointments
• Online booking of repeat prescriptions
• Summary Care Record (uploading details of your current medication and allergies to the national “spine” so that these are available for doctors involved in your care elsewhere)
• GP to GP transfers (the electronic transfer of records from practice to practice when you re-register
• Patient Access to records (the facility to view your medical records online).
• Healthcare Professionals may access the Child Protection – Information Sharing (CP-IS) system strictly on a need-to-know basis and only where this is necessary to support the safeguarding of children. The system provides limited information supplied by the local authority to indicate whether a child is subject to safeguarding arrangements. Access is monitored, and excessive or inappropriate checking is not permitted.

If you are not already registered for online access and would like to be please complete our online form.

If you would like access to your medical records enabled or would like to opt out of the local or national summary care record, please contact reception.
