Using an online form PATCHS 

There are many things you can do online at our surgery. Some tasks you can do using a website called PATCHS where you can: 

• request an appointment 
• request a sick note 
• ask about test results 
• contact us about an admin request 

You don’t need an account to use this website, but it will speed things up in future if you make one the first time.  

Using your NHS account or other health apps 

There are other tasks you can do online, like:  

• order repeat prescriptions 
• view your test results 
• see your health record 
• check or cancel appointments 
• see your vaccination record 

For these, you can use your NHS account or several other apps like Patient Access of Evergreen Life. You can access them using their websites or apps.  

Setting up an NHS account 

To set up your NHS account for the first time, you will need to set up an NHS login. Read about how to set up NHS login (nhs.uk). 

Once you have set up your NHS login, you can log in to your NHS account or download the NHS App onto your phone. 

Setting up other online access apps 

To set up other apps and websites for the first time: 

• visit the surgery with photo ID so we can confirm your identity 
• we will give you a username and password 
• go to their website or use the app to register
