New Electronic Medical Record System at the Atrium Health Centre!

On 14th May 2018 we moved to a new medical record system.  By doing this it means that we are able to share your medical records with other services treating you and therefore have better details about the care you receive from other NHS services in Dorset (and possibly further afield).  Full details can be seen in our leaflet “Sharing your medical information”.

Patient Online Service: Viewing your online medical record (including medications, allergies, vaccinations and test results), ordering prescriptions and booking your appointments

Patients registered with our Surgery can now book appointments and request repeat prescriptions using their computer, tablet or smart phone, at a convenient time to them using this online service. All patient information is kept securely.

This benefits patients, saving them a telephone call or journey to the Surgery and the service can also be used when the Surgery is closed. For patients with long term health conditions, they can be more involved with their healthcare by being able to access test results and track their treatment.

This service operates alongside traditional ways of accessing services and does not replace them. Allowing patients who want to use this service to book appointments and order prescriptions should help others to find it easier to get through on the telephone during busy times of the day.

Please visit the Surgery and speak to one of the receptionists to register for this online service.

You will need to bring with you 2 items of identification; one of photographic ID in date (e.g. a passport or driving license) and proof of your current address (e.g. utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill - must be dated within the last 3 months).

You will be provided with a letter containing your PIN number, enabling you to register.
