NHS and Patient Access App

[Bcol]

You may remember that I posted a few weeks/months ago about all my medical information disappearing from the above apps. I've done a bit of chasing and in spite of everything I have been told they suddenly re-appeared this morning ( suspect its been a surgery not an NHS problem, but may be mistaken). Also they seemed to have been edited.

Anyway on looking through them its quite interesting. in the Problems section

Current Problems - Degeneration of Lumbar intervertebral disc etc Jan 2023 (my MRI scan)

Nov 2022 - pain in lower limb, April 2022 OAQ in knee. No mention of PMR

Past significant - absolutely nothing, no mention of OA since the 1980's

Past minor - Jan 2023, Acute back pain with sciatica. ( again reason for MRI, which didn't read well)

And that's it for problems. Nothing about anything else that has happened over the years.

Medication - I have no Acute medication and a list of everything I take on repeat.

Most peculiar.

My OH has Fibromyalgia and when she asked, a couple of weeks ago, for a list of her illnesses for a form she had to fill in Fibro wasn't there. On ringing the docs they said, no we didn't put it on as you manage it so well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sometimes wonder.

Heaven help us -what a shambles... good job you know what you've got!

[Bcol in reply to DorsetLady]

Just looked through everything, there is nothing there before 2022. I'll give them a ring this afternoon, perhaps that is the new norm/policy

[Nextoneplease in reply to Bcol]

You’re very kind Bcol 😊 I don’t think I’d be feeling that forgiving 🤷‍♀️

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Bcol]

That may be so, but you still lived before then - and may have had problems/procedures which are directly relevant to the status of your current health.

[Bcol in reply to DorsetLady]

Nah, come on, what on earth would be relevant! Covid, my replacement knee, fused bones and screws in my foot, I guess I could go on!!!!!!!!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Bcol]

Couldn't we all - absolutely bonkers, and no use to man nor beast!

[Bcol in reply to DorsetLady]

I'll see what I get fobbed off with this afternoon. OH had to have a telephone appt with a doc to get her Fibro reinstated. It's an absolute joke.

I don't have a past medical history - lived in Germany for 10 years and been here for well over 10 years and nothing joins up!

[Bcol in reply to PMRpro]

Guess I'm joining the "no history" club.

[Bcol]

Fobbed off with its an NHS Digital problem with an upgrade due in May. In my humble opinion that is a load of old piffle.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Bcol]

Piffle at its best ! But then they seem to have plenty of practice…..

[Bcol in reply to DorsetLady]

Well I suppose its good news really, I now know there was nothing the matter with me before Jan 2022. Anything I thought I had was obviously an over active imagination!!!!!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Bcol]

That’s one way of looking at it - or perhaps its all part of a cunning plan Baldrick!

[Bcol in reply to DorsetLady]

Indeed. The big question of course is who's cunning plan? If I remember rightly one of them (Blackadders) was an MP so I can happily blame that one!!!
