NHS patients to heave full access to their records

The video discusses a new system piloted by Dr. Amir Hannon that allows patients to access their medical notes online. This initiative aims to build trust and transparency between doctors and patients, especially after the notorious case of Dr. Harold Shipman. Patients like Yvonne Bennett can now view their medical records securely from home. The proposal includes nationwide access to medical histories and test results, but raises concerns about data security and the NHS's capacity to handle such a system. Despite these concerns, the Department of Health supports the scheme, which could be implemented in three years.
