Patient Record
Sharing Your Medical Record
To support your care, relevant information from your medical record may be shared with other healthcare professionals and organisations involved in your treatment within NHS Wales, such as hospitals, community services, and pharmacies.
Information is only shared when necessary for your care and is handled in strict confidence in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Access is limited to authorised healthcare staff who need the information to provide treatment.
You have the right to ask how your information is used and to request access to your medical record. If you have any questions about how your information is shared, please contact the practice.
Emergency Care Summary
The Emergency Care Summary (ECS) is a secure NHS record that allows doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to view important details about your care such as medications and allergies when our surgery is closed.
Your information is stored safely within NHS systems and can only be accessed with your permission, unless you are unable to give consent during a medical emergency.
If you do not want an Emergency Care Summary, please let us know.
If you choose to have one, you will be asked for your consent each time a healthcare professional needs to view it.
