Levels of registration explained

There are two levels of registration for Patient Access at Sandy Lane Level 1 and Level 2
LEVEL 1
Any one 16 years or over can register at any time You will be able to:
- Order repeat prescriptions on the go and see the progress
- Book / cancel appointments - (appointments available on-line mirror those available if you were to phone the surgery)(fresh appointments are released online daily at 8am)
- View your immunisations and allergies
- Send private messages to the surgery (not for prescriptions or complaints)
- Update your contact details
- If you take ill away from home you can show other healthcare workers a list of your medications to help them treat you
This is very helpful for patients who have busy lives and can not always telephone at 8am to make an appointment or pop into the surgery to order repeat medication.
LEVEL 2
Anyone 16 years and over who has been registered with the surgery for a minimum of 6 months
LEVEL 2 includes the access detailed above in level 1 plus the additional access detailed below:
- View all coded information in your records for example a diagnosis or problem
- View all filed test results
- View all documents including hospital letters etc.
- If you take ill away from home you can show other healthcare workers a detailed summary to help them treat you
A Doctor must grant access for you to have LEVEL 2 but if for any reason the GP refuses to grant you permission to view any areas, a full explanation will be given or the GP might insist on an appointment to discuss this with you before Level 2 is granted. Level 2 is very helpful for patients who want to take an active role in looking after and monitoring a long term illness or chronic disease.
