Patient Contacts Overview

Details of a patient's carers and next of kin can be added within Vision 3, they do not have to be registered at your practice:

  • If the carer or next of kin is a patient registered at your practice - Many of their details can complete automatically from their Registration record.

  • If the carer or next of kin is not a patient registered at your practice - All details must be entered, including the date on which the contact gave permission for contact details to be recorded.

You can report on all carers recorded or a group, and the patients they care for in Search and Reports, see Carers Report in the Search and Reports Help Centre for details.

Important - Contacts, including non-patient contacts, have the right under the Data Protection Act to see what information is held about them on your system.
