My GM Care: Patient access to the GM Care Record
Resources for Clinicians
The My GM Care app gives patients access to view and update information held on their GM Care Record, including:
- Medications – medications, allergies and vaccination history
- My health – intolerances (GP and self-recorded), family history, lifestyle (smoking, alcohol and physical activity)
- All about me – patients share what matters to them, e.g., care preferences, home access or pet information
- Self-recorded measurements – blood pressure, weight, and mood measurements keep patients on track and professionals can monitor progress
- Care plans– digital care plans for dementia wellbeing, heart failure, frailty and end of life, can be viewed and updated, where possible
- Remember to ask – patients store reminders about what to ask during an appointment
- My Goals – patient-created goals and activity monitoring
Benefits for patients and care providers:
- Easy to access – patients login using NHS app credentials
- Patient power – gives patients more control over their health
- Full picture of care – everyone involved in an individual’s care has an up-to-date, comprehensive view of health and personal needs, including emergency services if a patient is unable to communicate
