NHS Choices
The NHS Choices website contains much information which is useful to patients being referred to hospital. It provides details on the services each hospital provides, feedback from patients, assessments by the Care Quality Commission, the hospital regulator and much else. It also provides a symptom checker which provides insights for the layman on various conditions and guidance on what patients can do to help manage their conditions.

Epsomedical’s hospital passport is designed to give our staff helpful information concerning you and any specific health needs so that we can plan your care to suit your requirements and make any reasonable adjustments.
The hospital passport can be helpful to adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults or people with specific communication needs.
A hospital passport tells us about your healthcare, your likes/dislikes, how you like to communicate and how to make things easier for you.
You can download your hospital passport here: CLICK HERE
Please fill in the hospital passport form and bring it with you to your appointment or email it to us at eg.enquiries@nhs.net

Your Summary Care Record (SCR)
If you are registered with a GP practice in England your SCR is created automatically, unless you have opted out. 98% of practices are now using the system.
Additional information on your SCR
You can add more information to your SCR by asking your GP. They can add extra details from your medical notes, including:
• health problems like dementia or diabetes
• details of your carer
• your treatment preferences
• communication needs, for example if you have hearing difficulties or need an interpreter
This will help medical staff care for you properly, and respect your choices, when you need care away from your GP surgery. This is because having more information on your SCR means they will have a better understanding of your needs and preferences.
When you are treated away from your usual doctor's surgery, health care staff can't see your GP medical records. Looking at your SCR can speed up your care and make sure you are given the right medicines and treatment.
