We are now offering a new Video Consultation Service and to use this service you will need to be registered for Patient Access. During these uncertain times, the best way to register for this service is by setting up online as below. If you are unable to do this you can download a form and return to us in the post or email.

Patient Guidance for Video Consultations

Please note any digital image submitted as part of an online consultation, will be stored within your clinical notes.

Patient Registration:  If you are registering as a New Patient, you will need to complete a GMS1 (purple form) and a New Patient Form according to your age.  We can not process any New Registrations without both of these forms.

Summary Care Record

The Summary Care Record is an English NHS development. It consists of a basic medical record held on a central government database on every patient registered with a GP surgery in England.

The basic data is automatically extracted from your GP’s electronic record system and uploaded to the central system GPs are required by their contract with the NHS to allow this upload.

The basic upload consists of current medication, allergies and details of any previous bad reactions to medicines, the name, address, date of birth and NHS number of the patient

As well as this basic record additional information can be added, and this can be far reaching and detailed. However, whereas the basic data is uploaded automatically any additional data will only be uploaded if you specifically request it and with your consent.

Summary Care Records can only be viewed within the NHS on NHS smartcard controlled screens or by organisation, such as pharmacies, contracted to the NHS.
Find out more.

You have the right to object to our sharing your data in these circumstances and you can ask your GP to block uploads.

Summary Care Record Opt Out

Your Summary Care Record contains important information from the record held by your GP practice and includes details of any medicines you are taking, any allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines that you have previously experienced. Your Summary Care Record also includes your name, address, date of birth and your unique NHS Number to help identify you correctly. As part of a mandatory national programme each GP Practice had to make a summary care record for each patient by March 2015 (unless the patient has already opted out). You can choose to opt out of this scheme at any time. If you wish to opt out of the Summary Care Record scheme please complete the opt out form below.

If you do not want a Summary Care Record please fill in this form and return to us.

Consent for Summary Care Record

At The Haven Practice we strongly encourage you to consider opting to have a Summary Care Record with Additional Information (SCRAI), as it contains so much more information and is therefore significantly more useful both to you and the NHS staff treating you.

If you would like a Summary Care Record with or without Additional Information please fill in this form and return to us.
