Step 4: Optional: Download both the NHS App & PATCHS

  • Use the NHS App first to create your NHS Login (it may require you to upload a copy of your Photo ID). It can help if you have your NHS number to hand.
  • You can use the same NHS Login to access our online appointment booking system PATCHS
  • Visit our Online Services webpage for more guidance.

Both these apps will enhance your digital experience as a patient at this practice.

Step 5: Await confirmation that you have been registered

We aim to register you as quickly as possible. If you have given us a UK mobile phone number, we will send you a text message to confirm you have been registered. If you do not receive such a message, you can email us at [email protected] for an update.

Once registered, you can book appointments, request repeat prescriptions and contact us for help/advice via PATCHs which you can access through the NHS App or our practice website here
