If you’re considering private healthcare, we want to ensure you have the information you need to make safe, informed decisions. Below is a guide to help you share key details with your private provider.

Requesting Your Summary Sheet

  • How to get it: Simply ask our staff to print or email you a copy of your Summary Sheet.

  • What’s included: This computer-generated document lists your main diagnoses (from your medical history) and current medications.

Why Share Your Summary Sheet?

  • Collaborative care: Sharing this summary with your private provider helps you both make decisions that align with your NHS care and medical history.

  • Safety first: It ensures treatments or medications prescribed privately are safe and compatible with your existing health needs.

Your Responsibilities

  • Be truthful: Always provide full and accurate information about your medical history, medications, and health status to your private provider.

  • Keep us informed: Let your NHS GP know about any treatments, tests, or medications you receive privately.

Important Notes

  • Verification services: The practice cannot provide free verification services (e.g., confirming details or interpreting records) for private providers. Your private clinician should contact you directly for clarification.

  • Full records: The Summary Sheet is a snapshot of your health data. For complex cases, private providers may need to request your full medical records (fees may apply).
