Patient Consent

Patient may be asked if information can be shared with other professionals. All information will be kept in confidence. Sometimes in an emergency this may not be always possible.

The NHS Care Records Services

The NHS in England has introduced the NHS Care Records Service. This is to improve the safety and quality of patient care. It will give health care staff faster, easier access to reliable information about you to help with your treatment. Today, all the places where you receive care keep records about you. Previously, they could only share that information from your records by letter, e-mail, fax or phone. At times, this could be slow and sometimes things got lost on the way. This new service is a quicker way to get important information to NHS staff treating you, including in an emergency. For more information ask at reception or go to the following website www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk
