The Health eCard is a credit-card sized, ‘smart card’ that allows you to carry a copy of your complete electronic medical records with you at all times. You may be aware that it is your legal right to have access to your medical records and the Health eCard is a great way to achieve this.
Once you have purchased your Health eCard, contact your GP Practice to arrange a convenient time to pop in to download a copy of your records onto your Health eCard. After each GP consultation, you can update your Health eCard at the Surgery to keep your health records current.
To access your medical records, plug your Health eCard into the USB port of any Windows PC anywhere in the world and type in your secure pass phrase. It’s as simple as that!
The Health eCard contains a copy of your complete medical history – GP notes, allergies, drug charts, blood test results, referral letters and correspondence received, (digital imagery such as Xrays, MRI and CAT scans can be added after every hospital visit).
For only £39.50, with an annual subscription of £19.50 from year 2, you can keep your Health eCard up-to-date all the time. This allows unlimited updates.
