Is it possible for senior staff in the NHS to access a patients records to gauge their medical history. I frame this in a positive way, say for a person who can't remember for themselves.
I have been told that our NHS records are all kept in different places say different departments and can't be brought together say for a major medical review.
I possibly naively thought by entering a person's NHS number it would be possible for someone in a NHS managerial position doing overall medical review to see a full NHS record in todays super IT age.
I have been told our records are kept so many years after we die, but effectively no one knows where thay are without been told where to look.
Can anyone update what is possible in their experiences with regards finding complete NHS records, say for oneself. Many thanks.
