CARL58 medical records

CARL58

I've just been in touch the CARL58 doctor's surgery about access to his medical records, the earliest is 14th June,one because it's not a doctor's appointment,two you get to see them with the surgeries manager,told them needed them before that still june.so it will be June.why is this country so hard to get access to things do they think where run off with them,we also wanted copies of his recent x-rays once the doctor has looked at them,typed out his findings we don't keep the x-rays.well can we have a letter please.that will cost you £25 ok if that's the case 10 to 14 days just for a drs letter.anymore of this negativity, I'll be as puddled as CARL58,I don't mean that but every way you turn you hit a wall jen

Is Carl registered on line with his GP ?

You should be able to get a digital copy of Carls medical records free of charge

some GP's offer this service, some don't i know as mine don't which means you need to either go online and fill in a form and get them, here's the link https://www.nuh.nhs.uk/access-to-personal-information

you may need to find the link in your own area, as each trust is different, but all NHS offer the same service.

here's the spam and good luck,

cockneyrebel thanks for that,but due to his trust issues which are severe sensitive information like that he wouldn't trust online, doesn't even trust banking on line,he doesn't trust anything like that,he was taken to the cleaner's once not his fault they basically cleaned out an account,it wasn't till bank decided to contact him that we knew anything about it,it was shocking took a while to get monies back.he won't even have a mobile phone due to trust issues,has lifeline 24 care alarm connected to phone line,but no telephone it's all to do with past trauma.which I can't go into,jen

Digital copies of medical records are free whether you have online access or not. They only charge if you need paper copies of any medical records.
