The Dogmother Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Has anyone else received a letter about this? It would seem to be a record which the NHS will hold, which will tell them if you need any special care in an emergency, or are allergic to any meds. I have a Medic Alert bracelet, and this seems to be similar. a good idea I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah, everyone over 18 received one here a couple of months ago I think it's a good idea, and I like the fact it's an opt-out system- only problem is it meant there was a lot of wasted paper in this house as all the forms got binned!

Geoid Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Its about time . Instead of storing all your medical records at your Drs surgery or hospital, then faxing/emailing/posting them to an other hospital or Drs surgery if you move, or you need emergency treatment, they will be instead stored online, so they can be accessed quickly.
