Proxy Medication Ordering (Proxy Access)
Since 2002, GP practices in England have offered their patients access to several online services, such as online appointment booking and repeat prescription ordering, as well as being able to see the information the practice holds about them in their GP patient record.
Proxy access for ordering medications in care homes, and access to further information in the GP record, will enable care home staff to order medications and access essential information on behalf of their residents.
