Viewing Your Medical Record Online

Accessing your Medical Record on line
If you are booking appointments or ordering repeat medication on line you will soon see other aspects of your medical record when you log into Patient Access.  You will be able to view your medication, and any allergies that are recorded in your medical record.  If you don’t see aspects of your medical record, and would like to, please ask your practice receptionist.
Some practices are also offering access to your immunisations, ideal when needed for University or job applications or to check on previous holiday vaccinations.  
Some practices may also offer access to test results.  As results are very individual to each person and what is deemed abnormal for some patients could actually be normal for others, we felt it would be helpful to provide a guide on what the test results module looks like and what it means to patients.
Inside is a screen shots of a test patients Patient Access Test Results page and an explanation of what can be seen when you view your resultsmand how your GP will communicate the result findings with you.
NB: You will need to visit your GP surgery to complete a consent form provided ID, and received passwords to access your Patient Access account

Blood Tests and Results- What do they mean?
Laboratory tests are tools helpful in evaluating the health status of an individual. It is important to realise that laboratory results may be outside of the so-called “normal range” for many reasons.
These variations may be due to such things as race, dietary preference, age, sex, menstrual cycle, degree of physical activity, problems with collection and/or handling of the specimen, non-prescription (over the counter) drugs (aspirin, cold medications, vitamins, etc.),  prescription drugs, alcohol intake and a number of non-illness-related factors.
Any unusual or abnormal results should be discussed with the GP who ordered the test. It is not possible to diagnose or treat any disease or problem with a blood test alone. It can, however, help you to learn more about your body and detect potential problems in early stages when treatment or changes in personal habits can be most effective. Almost all laboratories set the normal result range 

How to access your test results:

Click on Medical Record (if this is not visible you will need to contact your GP Surgery) 
If your Surgery has activated Test Results you will see it in the summary page.  Click on the test result to view the results and comments.

You may notice occasional results fall outside of the normal average range for that test.  Sometimes a result that is outside of the normal average range is normal for you.  
Your doctor will leave a comment about your results and any actions that may be required.  If the GP is concerned about any result they will call you or send you a letter.
