When you join the practice, we have very little of your past medical record immediately available. When you register with us, the local Health Authority requests your personal medical notes from your previous practice. The time taken for notes to arrive varies considerably, but it usually takes weeks or sometimes months. Before your notes arrive, we keep written and electronic records of your health information, the visits you make, your medication and other such information. When your personal records arrive from your previous GP, we create a summary and amalgamate the old records with those we have made in the meantime.

If you suffer from a chronic disease, please inform the registration clerk when you register. If you are soon going to run out of you regular medication, please make an appointment to see your new doctor to obtain repeat medication from us for the first time.

How Do You Keep My Medical Notes?

Your records are kept in electronic format on our secure medical computer system. This ensures it is up to date and accessible to all our Healthcare team.
