Registering with the app will give you access to your basic information and allow you to book appointments where available, it will not give you full access to your medical record (not including letters yet) as the surgery will need to allow this extra step. If you would like full access please email the surgery at fgccg.gosportmedicalcentre@nhs.net
It will be your responsibility to keep your log in details and password safe and secure.
If you know or suspect that your record has been accessed by someone that you have not agreed to, you should change your password immediately.
If you print out any information from your record, it is also your responsibility to keep this secure.
Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank holidays, for you request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery. If you prefer please enclose a stamped addressed envelope and we can post it back to you.
We do not accept telephone prescription requests in order to avoid inaccuracies.
The doctor likes to review your treatment regularly so we may add a message/invite to the right-hand side of your prescription.
If you have a preferred pharmacy logged in your notes or you are signed up for electronic prescriptions, your prescription will automatically go to the chemist. If no chemist is indicated your prescription will be waiting in reception for you to collect.
