If you are considering private healthcare, we want to make sure you have the information you need to make safe, informed decisions.

This guide explains how to share key information 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 is included: this computer-generated document lists your main diagnoses from your medical history and your 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 helps make sure 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, such as 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.
