How Do I Register For Online Services?

Submit the completed form at the reception with photographic ID and you will be issued with a username and password. This is so that we can verify your identity and protect your confidentiality.

Form A: For self-online account (aged 16 and above) - Download
Form B: Access for children, parents and guardians – Proxy access - Download

Proxy access refers to access to online services by somebody acting on behalf of the patient and usually with the patient’s consent. The proxy does not have to be a registered patient at the practice.

  • Child access will automatically be disabled when a child reaches the age of 11 and 16
  • A competency assessment will be carried out to grant the proxy access. A competent child must authorise the request for Proxy Access/ this will be at the discretion of a clinician.
  • A child deemed competent may have access to their online record or authorise a parent/carer to have Proxy Access to their full medical record or limited proxy access to specific services, such as appointment booking or repeat prescription requests, but not to the medical records.
  • Where a child is deemed not to be competent, a parent will apply for access but will be registered as a Proxy User at the discretion of a clinician.

Do not book for smear, dressing,wound care, travel immunisations or antenatal online. Only GP appointments are currently available to book online.
