The role of computers in the practice

The practice is fully computerised and there are computer terminals in all the doctors’ and nurses’ consulting/treatment rooms which allow easy access to your medical records and make prescribing easier. The system also lets us know when you are due for any routine checks e.g. immunisations, smear tests.

The computer system is also essential to provide us with instant feedback on how we are performing, enabling us to target our resources to key areas and increase our efficiency.

We would assure you that we treat the information as extremely confidential which can only be accessed by doctors, nurses and trained staff who have special security codes to ensure privacy. The practice is registered as a user with the Data Protection Register.
