There are many things you can do online at our surgery. Some tasks you can do using our Digital Front Door provided by Blinx Healthcare:
- obtain self-care advice for common ailments

- request a Fit (sick) Note
- ask about test results

You don’t need an account or download anything to use these features, but you will need your NHS number - you can find this in your NHS App, or on this NHS web page.
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

For these, you can use your NHS account or several other apps like Patient Access or 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).
