EMIS have finally fixed the link between our server and Patient Access. We have been assured that patients who had logins for the system prior to it breaking in September should be able to use their original logins. Even if you have been told by Patient Access that you require a new PIN since September THAT IS NOT THE CASE as the links have been reinstated.
Should you want to register for Patient Access or if you have been told you need a new PIN after 23/01/23 please complete the registration form.
Patient Access Registration Form
The only service currently available through Patient Access is repeat prescribing. The appointment system is currently unavailable.
Please be aware that the only options on Patient Access Repeat prescribing are accept and reject. Please read any messages returned before duplicating requests.
The surgery would still recommend using the online prescription form accessible through the "Prescriptions" menu at the top of the page for repeat requests.

7th November 2022
Patient Access has not worked since we got a new server in September. We are waiting for an engineer from EMIS to fix this. We will not be issuing new PINs as they will not work. Please do not contact EMIS Patient Access support as they are still giving out the incorrect information that we need to issue new PINs despite being asked not to.
We will announce when Patient Access is working again

If you request a prescription urgently we now to expect it to be collected from the surgery by the patient (or their representative) and we will not send it to a pharmacy. If you want it sent to a pharmacy please specify this carefully. This is because the variation in the times and frequencies that the pharmacies collect from us and also the time some pharmacies are taking to process prescriptions is causing us work locating and duplicating requests.
FLU
Flu vaccinations are being done by NHS Fife. If you are entitled to a vaccination you will receive a letter with a number to call to arrange an appointment. These are not being done at the surgery and we have no immunisation staff at the surgery to respond to enquiries regarding flu vaccinations.
