Find out more about the Electronic Patient Record
The EPR gives you control of your documents and gives healthcare professionals quick, straightforward access to important information. You are the main focus – especially when it comes to sharing information.
Benefits
Access to your documents
Without the EPR, you can only view a medical document when you explicitly ask a healthcare professional for permission. The EPR changes these roles.

You decide who can view your documents. You can set up and check your EPR any time, according to your needs.
Health information secure in one place
The EPR can be accessed via a secure internet connection at any time and on any device such as a computer, tablet or smartphone.
