How do I obtain my Log In details?
To obtain your log in details for “SystmOnline” (our practice patient system) please call into the practice with photograph identification to confirm your details. You can also contact us by phone and we will confirm your identity by asking some patient specific questions.
If you do not have any photograph identification the we will use some patient specific questions to confirm your identity.
Alternatively you can download the “NHS App” or the “Airmid App“. The apps will take you through some security questions to confirm your identity which will then link with the practice and allow you access.
Online Access for Children
You can also have management over your children’s online access enabling you to arrange appointments, order prescriptions and view their medical records on their behalf.
However, when your child turns 13, your online access will automatically be removed due to “Gillick Competency”. Your child can give the practice consent to reactivate your access if this is their wish after an assessment by a clinician. Please contact the practice to arrange this assessment.
You can learn more about “Gillick Competency” by Clicking Here.
If your child should wish to manage their own online access at the age of 13 then the practice can provide them with their log in details.
Medical Records
On the 01st of November 2022, patients will be able to view their full medical records online by using their current online access. The NHS wants to give people better ways to see their personal health information online. We know that people want to be able to access their health records. It can help you see test results faster. It also lets you read and review notes from your appointments in your own time. We’re now letting you see all the information within your health record automatically. If you are over 16 and have an online account, such as through the NHS App, NHS website, or another online primary care service, you will now be able to see all future notes and health records from your doctor (GP). Some people can already access this feature, this won’t change for you. This means that you will be able to see notes from your appointments, as well as test results and any letters that are saved on your records. This only applies to records from your doctor (GP), not from hospitals or other specialists. You will only be able to see information from 01st November 2022. For most people, access will be automatic, and you won’t need to do anything.
Your doctor (GP) may talk to you to discuss test results before you are able to see some of your information on the app. Your doctor (GP) may also talk to you before your full records access is given to make sure that having access is of benefit to you. There might be some sensitive information on your record, so you should talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
These changes only apply to people with online accounts. If you do not want an online account, you can still access your health records by requesting this information through reception. The changes also only apply to personal information about you. If you are a carer and would like to see information about someone you care for, speak to reception staff.
The NHS App, website and other online services are all very secure, so no one is able to access your information except you. You’ll need to make sure you protect your login details. Don’t share your password with anyone as they will then have access to your personal information.
If you do not want to see your health record, or if you would like more information about these changes, please speak to our reception staff.
