• If you’re feeling under the weather, search for symptoms and find patient information articles
• Self-refer to NHS services such as talking therapies, sexual health, antenatal care and drug and alcohol addiction services
• Choose from over 30 services provided by your local community pharmacy and book in the app
• Book face-to-face and video appointments for a range of other healthcare services including physiotherapy and counselling
• Access and read medical advice and healthy living tips from the experts
• Sign in quickly, easily and securely with Touch or Face ID
• Swiftly check if you can link to your GP

If you are able to link your Patient Access account to your GP practice, you can also get access to the following features where they are made available by your practice:

• Book face-to-face or remote online appointments with your GP, nurse or clinician at a time that suits you
• Request repeat prescriptions online, with convenient delivery to your preferred pharmacy
• View your medical record, including test results, allergies and immunisations
• Securely share your medical record with healthcare professionals of your choosing, without the need to contact your practice
• Look after your loved ones and act on their behalf to book appointments and repeat prescriptions
• Message your GP directly from within Patient Access at home or on the move
• Where your practice has enabled it, book a remote video consultation with your GP, nurse or clinician

You must be a registered patient at a participating practice to use the GP-linked features in Patient Access.

Ratings and reviews

Been using for some time (few years? Ages.) and suddenly "unsupported browser" message and closes. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same message. Went via web using Firefox, but what's wrong with your app? Rubbish that it worked then not, and the same complaint in other feedback, so not just me. Sort it out. Running Android 11 using Opera and Firefox

Atm the app is a welcome and valued option for me but I find it hard to differentiate between actually gp information and the various guides and messages that do not seem to delete. More important and functional features such as moving home, transfering paper records and digital records seems, to me, a good example.

Like the app but it seems to have one major flaw. When booking an appointment it offers the available times then asks for details before confirming. In the time it takes to enter that detail someone else has taken the slot. Surely once you have clicked on the time it should be held until you complete the next step.
