You can usually access your records via the Evergreen Life app
Use your smartphone to scan the QR code or search for Evergreen Life PHR in your app store.
You can use Evergreen Life to start building your Personal Health Record to understand how to be as well as you can be and get support if you are ever ill.
The easiest way to connect your records is with an NHS Login – if you have one already you can use it to register, or create one as part of the process.
If you cannot use an NHS Login, you might need to provide photographic identification to our receptionists who will issue you with an account ID and link to sign up. If you have had access to online services in the past you may already have done this.
Summary Care Record
If you’re registered with a GP surgery, you’ll have a Summary Care Record unless you’ve chosen not to have one. It contains basic information including your allergies, medicines and any reactions you’ve had to medicine in the past. By storing all this information in one place, it makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when your GP practice is closed.

GP2GP
GP2GP allows patients’ electronic health records to be transferred directly, securely, and quickly between their old and new practices, when they change GPs.

Your data matters to the NHS
Your health records contain a type of data called confidential patient information. This data can be used to help with research and planning.
You can choose to stop your confidential patient information being used for research and planning. You can also make a choice for someone else like your children under the age of 13.
Your choice will only apply to the health and care system in England. This does not apply to health or care services accessed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
