About the same price I pay for A4 paper as that ream in your pix
At that price it works out at £0.0055 a single sheet approx. rip off $#$^@#.
About the same price I pay for A4 paper as that ream in your pix£10?!You can buy 1000 sheets of A4 in Tesco for £10!
What response did you get to this?Have just written a Proper Letter (oh, those were the days.....) to the practice manager. Fingers crossed.
I would be grateful if you would please grant me access to view my medical records and test results online under your Patient Access system.
I am already able to request my repeat prescriptions using EMIS, but since asking back in the summer for ongoing access to my test results online, the only additional information I am able to see is in fact a list of my medication (which I have already anyway, on the repeat prescription ordering screen), and allergy information.
I have type 1 diabetes and a thyroid condition, and have regular testing for both of these. Allowing me online access to my own test results will be of huge benefit to my ongoing management of my own healthcare, and will lessen the pressure on your reception staff. I understand that online access has been available from all GP surgeries in England since April 2016, so I would be grateful if you could set up this access for me.
With thanks in anticipation,

Hi dbr10What response did you get to this?
Absolutely nothing! Not even the courtesy of a 'we don't do this, sorry'!What response did you get to this?
Hi Snapsy same here phoned earlier this morning still no reply will give them another call wouldn't like to disturb their lunch break eh!KAbsolutely nothing! Not even the courtesy of a 'we don't do this, sorry'!
I've got an appointment tomorrow for a couple of routine tests, as it happens, one of which is with the practice nurse, so I will make further enquiries.
Hi @Snapsy Just phoned the doctor Has past it to practice manager and now practice manager is seeing doctor has she doesn't understand where he's coming from Has they have given out this information in past, God help us cause the NHS is so far up their own bums it's not real!KHi @Snapsy same here phoned earlier this morning still no reply will give them another call wouldn't like to disturb their lunch break eh!K
I've just got my childhood immunisations, in addition to apps and repeat prescriptions.Hi dbr10
What a coincidence I've also been trying to get access to my test results can get on line with practice for appointments and repeat prescriptions but nothing else,I've been in to surgery and asked been on phone and asked now waiting for practice manager to ok me having a copy of my results.Its absolutely diabolical that we has grown up adults cannot get easy access to our own records. Even though many practices now allow this after the government has given us the right to them Makes you wonder what their trying to hide from us?K
That is bloody awful.Absolutely nothing! Not even the courtesy of a 'we don't do this, sorry'!

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing that. At my surgery only 5.2% are signed up and it was easy there too!I have just noticed on the link I posted that you can enter your postcode and get a list of local surgeries and information about them. I am surprised to see that my surgery only has an uptake of about 7% registering for online access although, as I said, they don't make it difficult.
I have had to email my surgery following my last appt with my GP. The only measurement he took at that appt was my weight, yet there's a BP reading recorded on the same date! I wouldn't mind but the reading is too high for me! I have asked for it to be removed!

There are posters up saying that repeat prescriptions can’t be ordered over the phone anymore, you have to take in a paper request or order on line and it tells you how to register. The same thing is said in the recorded message if you phone up. I can only assume that 95% of patients go into the surgery to order their’s or have an arrangement with a pharmacy. There’s nothing advertised about booking appts or accessing results. I only knew about the results bit because you (@Bluetit1802) suggested it to me in one of my very first posts and for that I’m grateful xAre there any advertisements/posters up in the waiting room about it? It is highly likely very few have heard about it. When I first knew about it (well before May 2016 - the deadline date) there wasn't a single poster or leaflet in our waiting room, and the receptionist knew nothing about it. She went to find someone else who did know about it and who produced the relevant form for me. That was a long time ago. These days there are posters up.

I can confirm that I had my first childhood vaccinations in March 1962!
I’m in a university city! There’s two universities and my surgery provides medical services on campus for one of the Unis. So that makes the low uptake even more surprising!I wonder if it could be the elderly patients that don't do it - they may not be on-line or they may just enjoy a trip out. In the past, pension payments had to be obtained every week at a post office. When this all changed and pensions were paid direct to bank accounts, all the pensioners moaned because they had been robbed of their weekly trip to the PO where they met all their friends for a gossip!! Also, areas where there is a high number of pensioners there is probably a lesser take up of the on-line services. Whereas in, say a university city, there will be a high number of students and young people.
Wow yours are on computer!... here we still have paper records that are transported by hand around hospitals... every time I take my mother for a visit I offer to carry them down to the respective department but I'm never allowed...central computer system
