Depending on the clinical system your GP practice uses you may notice small differences in certain areas of Patient Access.

If you move GP practice, and they offer Patient Access, you don't have to create a new Patient Access account. You can obtain a linkage document (registration letter) from your new practice, then link your existing account to them using the My GP Practice screen of Patient Access.
