I can log in but I can't see my letter?     

There are three main reasons why you might be able to login but no letter is showing:

2. You are a patient at more than one NHS Trust and the details we have for you on our system are not up-to-date (e.g postcode or the spelling of your last name). If the other NHS Trust has the correct details, you will automatically be logged into their patient portal. Please contact the Outpatient Appointment Centre on 0117 342 6888 and check we have your correct details.
