Patient Access App/Web Site are now asking patients to set up two-factor authentication.

If you’re logging into the Patient Access App/web site to order medication/book appointments, the system providers now seem to be asking patients to set up two-factor authentication. If you’re having issues with this, just click on the ‘Support Centre’ link on the sign in page and that will take you to more information. If you still have issues setting this up, an alternative is to start using the NHS App instead. You’ll also need to set this up if you have not done so already, but we understand that it is easier to use.

Please note: to book GP appointments you will need to telephone the surgery from 8.30am for same day and routine appointments 1 week in advance. Alternatively if you are wanting to book a follow up or non-urgent appointment you can use our eConsult service which is located on the front page or alternatively click the link: Consult Online from Home – The Lennard Surgery (webgp.com)
