Patient Access is an Android app that allows UK patients to access and book various medical services. You can order repeat prescriptions and read health-related articles.
Medical services
One of the app’s core features is the appointment system. You can effortlessly book, view, and cancel your doctor’s appointments online. Thus, negating the need for phone calls or in-person visits. This digital transition can significantly simplify the booking process for both healthcare staff and patients.
Similar to Helpful, Patient Access provides patients with portions of their medical records. Depending on your GP practice’s policies, you might view your medication list, test results, vaccination history, allergies, and more.
Another essential feature is the online prescription service. You can order your repeat prescriptions which are then prepared for collection at your chosen pharmacy. This system reduces wait times and ensures that you always have a consistent supply of required medications.
Data security
The app places a strong emphasis on security. Recognizing the sensitive nature of medical data, Patient Access requires users to have a unique access code from their GP to register. Further security measures, like passwords or biometric verification, safeguard the user’s data and privacy.
