Why do Doctors sometimes charge?
The Government’s contract with Doctors covers medical services to NHS patients, including the provision of ongoing medical treatment. In recent years, however, more and more organisations have been involving Doctors in a whole range of non-medical work.
Sometimes the only reason that Doctors are asked is because they are in a position of trust in the community, or because an insurance company or employer wants to ensure that information provided to them is true and accurate.
Our practice has decided to outsource our medical reporting to MediData, who will process your medical reports using their system, eMR.
What is eMR/MediData?
MediData is a NHS Digital accredited company who have developed a digital system called
eMR, which enables GP practices to create digital, GDPR compliant medical reports.
eMR helps GP Surgeries with data security, speed and efficiency
eMR also helps you to easily see your medical data, stay in control of it and decide who you
want to share it with.
MediData has worked hard to develop their NHS GP IT Futures accredited technology, eMR,
which interfaces with our GP practice’s system to extract your medical record. This means you
can receive a full copy of that information securely and share it with others as you wish, keeping
your data safe. Instead of making the payment to the practice, you will now make the payment to MediData.
If you wish to speak to a member of the MediData team regarding your medical report, or any
concerns you may have regarding your data, please contact MediData directly on:
Phone – 0333 3055 774
Email – [email protected]
We will still carry out several reports ourselves that Medi2Data cannot. These include:
Shot Gun Licence Applications – £40
HGV Licence Medical – £70
Hackney Licence Medical – £70
