Patient Access and NHS App at Thatcham Medical Practice
Book GP appointments
The practice’s online services page points patients to Patient Access for GP appointments where available.
Order repeat prescriptions
Use online services before you run out, especially before weekends, bank holidays or travel.
Use your own login
Do not share logins. Ask the practice about proxy access if helping a child, parent or vulnerable relative.
Practical shortcut: Keep Patient Access and NHS App installed and logged in before you need an appointment. It is much harder to set up access when you are already unwell or trying to book quickly.
