Haughton Thornley Medical Centres Mission Statement:
There for you all your life,
your good health with our support,
empowering you to live well
Most care is delivered by you looking after yourself in your own home with your family to help you. Most families usually have one person who tends to look after everybody else in the family and make sure your health needs are in order too. So it makes a lot more sense for you to be able to see what is in your electronic health record so that you can look after yourself better with your carers and ourselves to support you.
Why wait until there is a problem when you can do this now and also encourage your loved ones too and family and friends who are patients of ours! It's free, takes 2 minutes to complete the Records Access and Understanding Checklist Questionnaire and gives you a feeling of control over our healthcare needs and a lot of fun too! Our aim is for all patients to be able to do this.
If you are a parent of a child or a carer for somebody else or have been granted permission to do this on behalf of somebody else eg grandparents or even a friend who wants you to do it for them them then you will need "proxy access".
