Important: BLINX
Our online service, Blinx, is intended for routine administrative and non-urgent requests only, such as repeat prescriptions, fit notes, routine appointment requests, contact detail updates, and general administrative queries.
Requests that do not fall within these categories will not be processed through Blinx. Following GP triage, you will receive a text message advising that no further action will be taken regarding your request and, where appropriate, directing you to the correct service.
Before continuing, please make sure this is not an emergency.
