You can now book (or cancel) appointments and renew your prescriptions at a time to suit you, thanks to GP online services.
You don’t have to call or visit the practice, simply access services via your computer, smartphone or tablet – whenever or wherever it’s convenient for you. You can also download an app for smartphones or tablets which gives you the same access as the website. For more details about the app, ask at your practice or visit their website. The websites of all the practices in the North Kirklees area can be reached via this link here.
Accessing services online has other benefits too. If you’re living with a long-term health condition such as diabetes, you can have greater involvement in your healthcare by being able to access test results and keep track of your treatment online.
Online services work alongside traditional methods of accessing GP services. Having the option for people to access services in this way makes it easier for others to get through on the phone to their practice during busy periods.
If you’d like to register for GP online services you’ll need to fill out a form at your practice and you may be asked for two forms of ID, one of which should have a photo (such as a UK passport or driving licence) and the other should have your address (such as a council tax bill). This is to make sure that you only see your record and not someone else’s.

Videos
NHS England has produced a series of videos about GP online service, previously known as ‘patient online’. Three of the videos are detailed below but more are available on YouTube.
- How GP online services have enabled Hugh, who is registered blind, to manage his health conditions better.
- Kim, who already books appointments and orders his repeat prescriptions online, is looking forward to being able to see his detailed GP records.
The Al Mubarak radio show on 28 September 2016 featured an interview with Practice Support Pharmacist, Rizwana Anwar, who discussed the benefits of GP online services and explained how people can register. View the clip here. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1197529933640057
