Why do you need access to a summary of my medical record?

We need access to a summary of your NHS medical record to ensure we can provide you with the safest and most effective care.

This information is vital to help our clinicians understand any relevant health considerations before your assessment or treatment and ensures that any medication we prescribe is safe for you.

Some medications can interact with others or affect existing health conditions, so having access to a summary of your medical record allows us to avoid any potential issues and make the best choices for your care.
