Online Services
Please click here to order your repeat medication, book an appointment, view your medical record or send a secure message to the practice.
At The Allan Practice, we are pleased to offer a large number of services available to patients through Online Access. Via Online Access patients can book appointments, order their repeat medications, view their medical record and send secure messages to the surgery all online. We are aware that our telephone lines can be incredibly busy which is why we are so keen for our patients to make the most out of the online services we provide. Available 24/7, 365 days a year the service allows patients to take control of their medical care without the need to call their doctor's secretary or wait until the surgery is open.
