    Patient Access to Records: What you need to know

    Patient Access to Records: What you need to know

    Munir Adam talks to Dr Devin Gray, a GP very much involved with patient access to records, and in fact, despite not being their employee, was invited by NHS England to present the subject.  Q: How ready do you feel that patients will readily be able to read (almost) everything you document?

    URGENT! For EMIS practices, the deadline to opt-in to prospective records access is 20-09-23, to go-live on 4th October using this form.  After this , practices will need to manually edit. For TPP it's by 31/10.
