My health record is a digital health record system introduced by the government. The online system is a secure way to record your important health information such as medical conditions, allergies and medication details.
Healthcare providers like a GP, specialist, and hospital doctors may be able to access your health summary online at any time. It is helpful in an emergency in case you are unable to give the necessary information.
You can access your health record and control who sees what information. You can add information such as allergies, emergency contact details, and medicines or vitamins you take.
Doctors can add a summary of your medical history, pathology reports, and hospital discharge summary.
Talk to your General practitioner, who can help register with My Health Record.
