What can I expect at a consultation?

One of the added benefits of extended access service is that the healthcare professional will have access to view your medical record during your appointment even if you are not in your surgery. Having access to view your medical record means that the clinician will have a greater understanding of your medical history and health needs and can then choose the treatment that is right for you. 

Using this service will not affect your registration at your usual GP practice.

Who will have access to my medical record?

Only authorised staff within the service will have access to view your medical record. The receptionist will ask for your consent when you book the appointment, if you do not consent the healthcare professional will not be able to continue the booking of the appointment. Your medical information will be treated with the strictest of confidentiality.  All City and Hackney GP practices have agreed to sign up to a data sharing agreement which sets out what information will be shared, how and when.

What if I don’t want my medical records to be shared?

If you don’t want your medical records to be viewed then you will need to tell the receptionist when they are booking the appointment. They will then offer you an appointment at your own GP practice.

Your views and feedback about the extended access service.

At the end of the consultation you may be asked to complete a patient experience survey. Your views and feedback are important and will help us to make improvements.

Tests and referrals

If you have a blood test at a centre that is not your practice, the results will be returned for review at your registered GP practice.  Please therefore contact the practice for results as usual.
