‘It’s your choice’
If you wish to, you can now use the internet to book appointments with a GP, request repeat prescriptions for medications you take regularly. You can also view your summary care medical record online. You can also still use the telephone or call in to the surgery for any of these services as well (however, we do not take requests for repeat medication over the phone). It’s your choice.
Being able to see your record online might help you to manage your medical conditions. It also means that you can even access it from anywhere in the world should you require medical treatment on holiday. Access to the detailed coded electronic medical records is also now available; this access will be granted on a patient by patient basis on request via your secure online account – you can speak directly to Jenny Joof if you need more information or are unsure about any aspect of access by calling: 01924 767 101 and asking for her
