Changes to online services for Lea Road Medical Practice patients

We are merging some of our clinical systems on 23 September 2024 which means that if you use online services such as the NHS App, you will have to delete and re-register your account after this date.

All you need to do is follow the instructions below – please note that it can take a few days to receive full access following the verification of your identity. If you are struggling to gain access, please contact the practice directly on 01902 682222.

How to delete your account

  1. Log in.
  2. Select Account and settings in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
  3. Select Settings. 
  4. Select Manage NHS account.
  5. Select Login details.
  6. Then select Delete my NHS login.

To set up an NHS login you will need:

  • an email address (with more than 6 characters)
  • a mobile phone or a landline number

To be able to use some services, you will also need to provide your:

  • NHS number or your full name
  • Date of Birth
  • Postcode

To access your health records or any personal information you will also need to provide high level proof of who you are. If your mobile phone number matches the one you have registered with your GP, we will use it to verify your identity. Otherwise, you will need to provide proof of identity. This can be a:

  • Passport
  • UK driving licence (full or provisional)
  • Biometric Residence Permit (BRP)
  • UK Residence Card, or EEA Biometric Residence Card (BRC) (including temporary pass)
  • European driving licence (full)
  • European national identity card

If you cannot provide a valid photo ID, you can use your registration details from your GP surgery. These are:

  • a Linkage Key (also known as Passphrase)
  • an ODS Code (also known as Organisation Code or Surgery ID)
  • an Account ID

You need to ask your GP surgery for these details.
