IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL PATIENTS – NEW ONLINE CONSULTATION SYSTEM

We’re making it easier for you to manage your healthcare online!

Based on the valuable feedback we’ve received from patients, from October 7th 2025, we’ll be switching to a new online consultation system called Blinx PACO GP, which will replace our current tool, eConsult.

What you can do with Blinx PACO GP

• Request appointments and submit admin queries by completing a relevant health form

• Access self-referral options and health advice

• Submit blood pressure readings at the GP’s request (coming soon!)

• Book certain appointments directly (e.g. flu jabs – coming soon!)

We’ll continue adding new features over time to improve your experience.

How to Access the New System

• Visit our website and click on the Blinx logo

• No need to create an account or remember a password

• Simply enter your date of birth and NHS number

• You can find your NHS number here  https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/find-nhs-number/

You’ll then receive a link and verification passcode via email or SMS. Click the link or enter the passcode to continue your request.

Please make sure your contact details are up to date so we can send your access code to the correct email or phone number.

If you do not have access to a mobile phone or email then simply call the practice and the team will take your symptoms/details over the phone.

What’s Changing for You?

Easier Login No account needed – just your NHS number and date of birth.

Smarter Forms You’ll complete simple health forms to help us handle your request quickly and accurately.

New Communication Channels We’ll start sending messages via Blinx PACO:

• Emails from no-reply@blinxhealth.com (Add this to your Safe Senders list)

We will continue to use the Accurx system for text messaging.

Your health and convenience are our top priorities, and we are confident that these changes will greatly enhance your experience with Marine Lake Medical Practice.
