Your Medical Records –
Important Information
Shared Care Record – You will soon receive
a letter about this NHS scheme which is
intended to improve care if you need to go to
hospital urgently. It allows NHS professionals
to access limited information from your GP
record, providing your permission is obtained.
If you do not wish your information to be
shared in this way you can opt out by
following instructions in the letter.
Health and Social Care Information
Centre- Care Data - NHS England are
proposing to extract data on healthcare from
medical records held at the practice. This will
include diagnoses, age, gender, prescriptions
and other information and will be identified by
NHS number. The information will be used to
analyse patterns of health and healthcare
with a view to improving services in the future.
We are assured that patient information is
secure but if you do not want your records to
be included in this initiative please write to us
by letter or email ([email protected]). More
information
is
available

Reception and Dispensary
Services
Building work is now underway to refurbish
the surgery. Part of this work will provide our
dispensary and reception teams with entirely
separate working areas, which means we are
reviewing some of our processes and
methods of working.
