Personal Data

The following IT systems are in use at the practice:

  • Referral Management (using NHS numbers in referrals)
  • Online booking of repeat prescriptions
  • Most patients in Scotland now have an Emergency Care Summary containing basic information about your health in case of an emergency.

    NHS staff can also use your Emergency Care Summary if your GP refers you to an outpatient clinic or for admission to hospital to check your details.

    Before any member of staff looks at your Emergency Care Summary, they must get your consent. If you are too unwell to give consent, they may need to read your Emergency Care Summary without your agreement in order to give you the best possible treatment

  • GP to GP transfers (the electronic transfer of records from practice to practice when you re-register
  • eConsults
  • Prescription Tracking (enables accurate tracking of both repeat and acute prescriptions using the prescription bar-code) 
  • Text Message Appointment Confirmation and Reminders
  • iGPR - insurance reports, solicitors access to medical records – your consent will always be sought by the insurance company or solicitor before we can provide reports/access to medical records.

  • Primary Care Intelligence Service for Scotland (PCIS)  - It does not contain individual patient-level data and does not compromise patient confidentiality.
