How to Guide

Please attend your appointment on time, if you are late you may not be seen. If you are not seen you will not be able to rearrange your appointment until the next working day-except in the event of an medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
Alternative Options
Local Pharmacy - As qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.
If symptoms suggest it's something more serious, pharmacists have the right training to make sure you get the help you need. For example they will tell you if you need to see a GP, nurse or other healthcare professional.

Online Appointments
NHS App
We are currently testing the new NHS APP which you can use to manage your appointments, repeat prescriptions and see your health record including test results. It can only be used if you have registered for online services. You can also access 111 online, Symptom checker, data opt out and set organ donation preferences. If you would like to register for online services see below.
The App can be downloaded from the playstore for Android phones or appstore for iphone.
If you experience any technical issues you can refer to this website for help: https://www.nhs.uk/contact-us/nhs-app-contact-us
To register for online services
ALL patients aged 15 years and over will be required to attend Holbrook Surgery in person with photo ID (preferably a passport or driving license).
You will then be given a registration form to complete, or alternatively download the relevant form and bring it with you to the surgery.
Children
Children vary in the age at which they are able to make an independent and informed decision about who should have access to their on-line records. New guidance is regularly being published with varying ages when parental access should be limited. Unfortunately, at the moment guidance is very inconsistent and suggests limiting access from the age of 11 to 16 years old.
At Holbrook we ask any patients over the age of 15 to register for online service in their own right, but due to this recent guidance we need to consider parental access for 11 – 15 year olds. We realise that 11 is very young, therefore we will be routinely asking 13yr olds consent for their parents to access there online services. We may have to change this age to 11 if the guidance changes.
Online application forms
Adult and child under 13 Application for online services
13-15 Application for online services
We will then process your application and email you with details on how to activate your account; this will include your patient ID and registration token.
Once registered you will then have access to our online appointments and prescription service through the NHS APP.
If you are not using the NHS App use the link below, but we are trying to encourage everyone to use the NHS App.
