What are Online Services?
The NHS is committed to developing electronic access to assist patients in the management of their healthcare needs. The system is a website that allows patients to access medical services over the internet. It allows you to easily and quickly order a repeat prescription or book an appointment and view areas of your medical records; further services will be added over the coming months.
The information is presented to you in a format that is easy to navigate and will in time offer links to resources such as patient information leaflets about diseases, tests, investigations, support groups and medications etc. There will also be links to websites such as NHS Direct Online and Patient.co.uk where you can find additional information to help you understand and educate yourself about your health.
