NHS App

We recommend all our patients over 16 years of age, who have access to a smart phone, download the NHS App from their provider’s App Store.

The NHS App gives you the ability to book appointments, request prescriptions, view your health records and much more. If you require any assistance or further information, please visit: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/

Local Shared Electronic Record

The NHS in England has introduced the Summary Care Record, which is used in emergency care. The record will only contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had to ensure those caring for you have enough information to treat you safely.

Your Summary Care Record will be available to authorised healthcare staff providing your care anywhere in England, but they will ask your permission before they look at it. This means that if you have an accident or become ill, healthcare staff treating you will have immediate access to important information about your health.

Station House Surgery is supporting Summary Care Records, but as a patient you have a choice. Please select from the options below.

For more information, please visit: https://digital.nhs.uk/services/summary-care-records-scr, or telephone the dedicated NHS Summary Care Record Information Line on 0300 123 3020.
