Patient Booklet


Creating a safe environment for your personal medical information

Public Information Booklet

Your medical record is a life-long history of your consultations, illnesses, investigations, prescriptions, and other treatments. This information is often extremely important for your care. Your record is also a description of your relationship with health care staff, doctors, nurses and others, over the years. This relationship is based on mutual trust and confidence and we will do everything we can to protect that trust.
