Patients are now being given online account access to their future, or prospective, full general practice health record including free text, letters and documents.
Patients will see new information once it is entered, or filed, onto their record in the clinical system. Patients will not see their historic, or past, health record information unless they have already been given access to it by their general practice.
Patients whose general practice uses the TPP or EMIS system will see new general practice records entered. This will be made visible to patients through the NHS App or existing GP online services apps that already securely provide patients with access to this health information.
