Fenland Flier Jul 2023 12:19pm, 13 Jul 2023 9,408 posts	0 Fenland Flier This isn't helping Alice find an answer. Quick question - I had bowel screening and mammogram results back through the post in April, both clear. I looked on my medical record for something else yesterday but noticed that it’s been recorded as “not done” or words to that effect. Do I need to get that altered or does it not really matter if the notes are wrong in this case?

Fragile Do Not Bend Jul 2023 12:35pm, 13 Jul 2023 11,348 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend That’s true, I saw one of those tv doctors complaining about this, they still have to wait for letters to arrive in the post after a patient has been seen at hospital. Then of course someone at the surgery will then have to copy it onto their IT system.

My consultant at OUHT emails my letters to my GP and I receive copies by post. I see my hospital test results via Patients Know Best and my other tests via my NHS App.

Alice the Camel Jul 2023 1:05pm, 13 Jul 2023 14,471 posts	0 Alice the Camel Thanks folks. I didn’t want to pester them but was surprised as I’d received letters through the post promptly and assumed they would too. It’s been over 3 months now… I also didn’t realise that some health authorities don’t give access to patient records. I access them via something called System Online which I assumed was a national initiative.
