Wellside Medical Centre plan to offer the facility for patients to view online, export or print detailed coded information held in their own records.
This will be subject to the necessary NHS GP systems and software being available to the practice.
This practice currently offers the facility for patients
- To book, view, amend, cancel and print appointments online
- To order online, view and print a list of their repeat prescription for drugs, medicines or appliances
- To view online, export or print summary information from their record, relating to medications, allergies and adverse reactions
This is via TPP SystmOne using our website www.wellsidemedicalcentre.co.uk
If you do not already have a username and password for this system you will need to register by calling in to the practice in person with appropriate identification. Please enquire at reception beforehand as to the nature of identification that will be appropriate for this purpose.
We will seek necessary assurances from our clinical software providers to ensure that patients can request online access to their detailed coded records in a manner that is secure and safeguards the best interests of the patient.
We have been advised that this should be the case by 31 March 2016.
We will inform patients when appropriate arrangements are in place and we will publicise and promote our online services using the practice website and waiting room posters.
Thank you
