Just to say that the data access facility has been a fantastic benefit since Xmas. Hospitals try and close wards and dump patients into the community with totally inadequate information or discharge patients far too early and hospital letters simply don’t arrive for weeks. Access to hospital results in the total absence of any useful information is at least one useful survival tool. Also I’ve just seen someone on chemotherapy with a chest infection – no data on his blood tests from hospital since June but looking up his data on line helped me make a decision that he is safe to keep at home and not admit.

Happy New Year

Bern Bedford GP Hythe

I was called to treat a young woman who had collapsed in a gym at 11am on a Sunday. She had been successfully resuscitated by the time she reached hospital. I was able to view her record, see that she had previous cardiac problems and the medication she was on which supported our initial treatment and made it much easier. Her partner had no idea of the medication she was on and was also not really able to give us any medical details at that time. As a result the woman was treated in hospital and made a full recovery. Having access to the CDR really made a difference and was incredibly helpful

Justin Nicholas A&E Consultant

Patient from University academic staff came for her X-Ray result after the hospital told her to attend in “2 weeks” as they do – it takes 3-4 weeks for GP to get paper copy –

– this lady was 3rd wasted appointment this week like this.

But with your system – all that’s now history.  Fantastic!
