Patient Access - excluded when we complain - paper copies rule

[Charlie-Farley]

Hi All

So I’ve noted recently, more people are coming out with experiences of having access to records removed, things disappearing etc. My own account is below but I’m wondering if there is a general trend towards arse covering in the medical profession by denying access to one’s own online records.

As I have stated in my profile and in a fair few posts, my patient access has been more doctored than I am. This is why I keep chipping in to advise to NOT rely on patient access when forum members are routinely advising this as the route to one’s records. As soon as they know they have ‘stuffed up’ things disappear. they did this to me but I had taken screenshots of my patient access BEFORE I said anything so the differences were obvious 🤔

It is an abuse of the system, but if trying to cover tracks probably an obvious choice for GPs.
