Digital Healthcare Services
In line with NHS England requirements, our practice is committed to implementing key digital healthcare initiatives to improve patient care. Below is our position on these important developments:
1. Summary Care Record (SCR)
- We automatically update patient SCRs daily to ensure your key health information (medications, allergies) is always current
- This helps healthcare professionals treat you safely in emergencies
- Don't want an SCR? Complete our [
opt-out form]
2. GP-to-GP Record Transfers
- We use the electronic GP2GP system for fast, secure transfer of medical records when you change practices
- This means your new GP gets your complete history much faster than paper records
3. Online Patient Access
Available 24/7 through our secure portal:
✓ Book/cancel appointments
✓ Order repeat prescriptions
✓ View medical record summaries
Not registered? Ask reception for login details
4. Data for Healthcare Planning
- We share anonymized data with NHS planners to improve services
- Strict confidentiality safeguards are in place
- You can opt out
Our Commitment
We undergo annual audits via the Information Governance Toolkit to ensure all your data is handled securely and in accordance with NHS standards.
