Had an account on the old system? - Migrate from old prescription service to new prescriptions service
Once migrated you will no longer use your old username and password. Your new username will be your email address (which has to be unique (i.e. two people cannot have the same email address) that you chose when creating your Patient Access account.
Your Patient Access account is unique to you and will remain the same regardless of which practice you are registered at. Once created, you will have the option to Link to your GP Practice using a Linkage Key and Account ID, which is supplied by your GP practice usually via email, but sometimes by post.
Migrating your account to Patient Access will NOT change any existing nominations or agreements you have in place with any pharmacies on the logistics of your medication, it is simply a different system for sending your request for medication for your GP
Upon receipt of the email that contains a list of service providers, please do not be alarmed. This email can seem confusing as it contains some names of pharmacies, but this (as mentioned above) has no impact on your existing pharmacy nomination or agreements with them. The only information you need from this email is the Linkage Key and Account ID at the end of the email.
Please see below the process for migrating your old account:
- Complete Migration Form located here: Migration Form (This can be filled in online, but must be either saved to your computer or printed out)
- Attach completed form to email and send to somccg.noreply-collegewaysurgery@nhs.net OR send to us in the post or hand in at reception.
- College Way Surgery will process the form and you will be sent an email which contains a list of 'service providers' as well as a Linkage Key and Account ID at the end of the email.
