My Medical Record is the digital version of a patient record, which stores and displays a patient’s personal and medical health records online. The patient can see their information using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone which has access to the internet. Some of the information on My Medical Record comes directly from the hospital systems at the Trust. All of the patient records online on My Medical Record is shared securely.
The new smartphone app for My Medical Record gives patients access to their personal information, such as date of birth, home address, contact details and next of kin, all of which can be edited if the patient needs to. If a patient is registered with a particular care group, for example IBD, they will be able to see their letters, future appointments, results and will also be able to use the app to contact their care team. The My Medical Record app can be accessed using the NHS app.
My Medical Record is currently used at UHSFT, and 25 other Trusts across England.
