Important Information Regarding Your Online Access Following the Merger with Gade Surgery
Following the recent merger between Chorleywood Health Centre and Gade Surgery, your online access may have been temporarily suspended. If you are still experiencing difficulties reconnecting to your GP surgery, please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Delete Your NHS Login Account
For security purposes, you will need to log in using your usual NHS login credentials before deleting your account.
- Log in to your NHS account via the NHS App or NHS.UK.
- Select the ‘More’ icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- Choose ‘Account and settings’, then ‘Manage NHS account’, followed by ‘Your NHS login details’.
- Select ‘Delete NHS login’.

You can access the deletion page directly here:

Online Services – Things to consider
Before you apply for online access to your record, there are some other things to consider.
Although the chances of any of these things happening are very small, you will be asked that you have read and understood the following before you are given login details.
- Forgotten history: There may be something you have forgotten about in your record that you might find upsetting.
- Abnormal results or bad news: If your GP has given you access to test results or letters, you may see something that you find upsetting to you. This may occur before you have spoken to your doctor or while the surgery is closed and you cannot contact them.
- Choosing to share your information with someone: It’s up to you whether or not you share your information with others – perhaps family members or carers. It’s your choice, but also your responsibility to keep the information safe and secure.
- Coercion: If you think you may be pressured into revealing details from your patient record to someone else against your will, it is best that you do not register for access at this time.
- Misunderstood information: Your medical record is designed to be used by clinical professionals to ensure that you receive the best possible care. Some of the information within your medical record may be highly technical, written by specialists and not easily understood. If you require further clarification, please contact the surgery for a clearer explanation.
- Information about someone else: If you spot something in the record that is not about you or notice any other errors, please log out of the system immediately and contact the practice as soon as possible.

Online Services – Security
It will be your responsibility to keep your login details and password safe and secure. If you know or suspect that your record has been accessed by someone that you have not agreed should see it, then you should change your password immediately. If you can’t do this for some reason, we recommend that you contact the practice so that they can remove online access until you are able to reset your password. If you print out any information from your record, it is also your responsibility to keep this secure. If you are at all worried about keeping printed copies safe, we recommend that you do not make copies at all.
The practice has the right to remove online access to services for anyone that doesn’t use them responsibly.
