Trouble signing In

I can't sign in and my details are correct

Even if you are confident you have the correct details, try recovering your User ID (using this link) and resetting your password (using this link).

Could it be a problem with my web browser?

web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for accessing information on the World Wide Web.

The minimum browser requirements are listed below:

Chrome from version 70.0
Safari from version 10.0
Edge from version 42.0
Firefox from version 63.0

Can I share a sign in email address?

Unfortunately, it is also no longer possible to share an email address on Patient Access. This is because we use the email address as a unique identifier to ensure the account security and confidentiality. Users who shared an email address on the old platform and migrated their accounts across to our new platform are permitted to continue to share an email until a password reset is required.

Can I reset my Memorable Word?

You can reset your Memorable Word by clicking Forgot my Memorable word on the sign in screen once you have successfully entered your password. This will take you to a different screen that allows you to update your Memorable Word and hint. 

Your account must have a valid email address and a valid mobile number in order to reset your Memorable Word. If you have not already done this, we highly recommend you do so from the Account Settings.

The following criteria should be adhered to when creating your Memorable Word:

  • It must be 8 to 20 characters long.
  • It is case sensitive.
  • It can not be same as your password.
  • Each character you enter counts, including any special characters like hyphens or blank spaces.

You will be asked to enter your Memorable Word:

  • When you sign in to Patient Access from a new device or browser.
  • Every 60 days after first logging in to Patient Access. This does not reset every time you log in.

You can find out more about creating a Memorable Word by using this link.

Account locked

If you enter an incorrect password 8 times, your account will automatically be locked for 1 hour. If you typed the password incorrectly, wait 1 hour then try again. If you have forgotten your password, select Forgotten Password

If you are using a private computer or device, not a public computer, and would like your password to be visible as you type, select the 'show' icon at the end of the password field.
