Wansford was one of the first surgeries in the country to
introduce online GP appt booking with our original system
in 2001
On 1st May, 2006, we introduced an
improved appointments
and repeat prescriptions system - a 24 hour on-line service
called EMIS ACCESS.
During October2014 the previous online appointment and prescription systems will move from EMISonline to Systmone online. If you have an existing id and password this should still work on the new site. However for this upgrade online services will not be available from 15-21st October 2014 as we move computer system.
The new service is more efficient, both for the patient
and for the practice, and one which we feel is a great step
forward. The main advantages are:
a) Same day booking for on-line appointments
b) More on-line appointments available offering a wider range
of appointment times
c) The bookings/repeat prescriptions are automated and communicate
securely with our computer system
It’s quick and easy to use, but to get started,
you must first register your details at reception, so that
you can be issued with a Registration Letter.
This will contain your personal Pin
Number and Access ID to allow you internet access. It’s
obviously very important that only genuine patients are registered,
so this Registration Letter can only be obtained IN PERSON
at Reception. Please bring with you a form
of identification – e.g. Driving Licence, Utility Bill
– something with your name and address on.
New
appointment booking system - needs registration
One appointment is needed for each patient
and each appointment is normally for ten minutes. Please ask
to see the doctor you usually consult as this will help with
continuity of care. However, in an emergency, or with acute
illness, a patient may be offered appointments with another
doctor. If you cannot keep the appointment you have made,
please let the receptionist know as soon as possible so that
the appointment may be given to someone else. We try to keep
to time with appointments. If you are kept waiting, we apologise.
The doctor may be dealing with an emergency, or a complicated
problem. If there is a delay and this creates a problem please
talk to the receptionist.
Please note we are an active GP training practice
so you may be given an appointment with a GP registrar who
is a fully qualified doctor who is undertaking special training
under our supervision Some surgeries are recorded on video
for teaching purposes. You will always be informed about this
and video will only be recorded with your consent.
If you need
special procedures such as minor operations cryotherapy you
should confirm your appointment is suitable by ringing 01780
