Will I see my own GP and/or Nurse?

Will the GP I see have access to my medical record during my appointment?
Your medical record will, with your consent, be available to the Health Care Professional that speaks to you or sees you to ensure that they have the information they need to give you the best possible car. A summary of your appointment will be sent back to your own GP practice electronically to ensure that your record is up-to-date.
