What you need to know:

  • You will be responsible for keeping your login details and password safe and secure.
  • If you suspect that someone else has accessed your record, change your password immediately or contact the practice for assistance.
  • Due to GDPR, we may not be able to offer online access to all parts of your medical record.
  • You may see information that you find upsetting, such as abnormal test results or bad news. If you need support or clarification, please contact the practice for assistance.
  • It’s up to you whether or not you share your medical information with family members or caregivers. However, it’s your responsibility to keep that information safe and secure.
  • If you feel pressured or coerced into sharing your medical information with someone else, it’s best not to register for access at this time.
  • If you notice any errors or information that does not pertain to you in your medical record, please log out immediately and contact the practice as soon as possible.
