You can order prescriptions and book single doctor appointments using Emis Access. You can also notify us of changes in your address and contact details.

We are now also running now a small pilot to allow patients to view their medical record online. (see below)

Appointment booking on EMIS access 
Single doctor appointments are available on Emis access. You can book appointments at any time convenient to yourself when the practice is closed or the telephone lines are busy. (Please note the system unavailable from 1am – 3am). 

Unfortunately you CANNOT book annual review appointments, nurse appointments or other types of appointment currently online, you need to contact the surgery direct, (01285 652056), to book these appointments. Only single doctor appointments are available online.

WHAT IS EMIS ACCESS?
Emis Access is a secure system that is very easy to use, and once logged on you can not only book repeat prescriptions but also book appointments with your Doctor as well.  This means you can access our services at a time convenient to yourself at most times of the day or night. 

 

HOW EASY IS EMIS ACCESS TO USE?
Once you have registered it is very easy to use. It does take a few minutes to set up initially but after that it really is very straightforward. We have had very positive feedback from our trial patients, the only small problems have been with lost passwords or initial registration that have been easily and quickly resolved.

CAN I STILL CHOOSE  WHERE TO COLLECT MY PRESCRIPTION?
Yes but it is VERY important to specify chemist in the message box in Emis Access. You are not prompted to choose from a list currently in Emis Acess.

WHY THE GRADUAL ROLL OUT?
The gradual roll out means the system evolves and people can adapt gradually. Minor problems always happen with new systems and by not rushing potential problems can often be avoided. You need a prompt efficient service for your repeat medication and we do not want this compromised in anyway.

HOW SECURE IS EMIS ACCESS?
All personal information contained on Emis Access is protected using the highest standard of internet security.

CAN I REQUEST TO ENROL WITH EMIS ACCESS?
The scheme is open to all patients over 16 years of age. At the moment you need to be registered at the Phoenix Surgery in Cirencester. If you fulfil these requirements you can request to join.

UNDER 16’S AND EMIS ACCESS
We regret we cannot at the moment offer the scheme to the under 16’s because of the complex nature of the rules on confidentiality and consent for youngsters. We will however keep the current system open exclusively for the under 16’s use whilst we work on a solution to this problem

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
At a future date we may be adding more services including the ability to update your address and contact details held at the surgery.
