he's ill a lot....
if Glous and Cheltie are the same trust then they are taken to and fro
Otherwise you get separate notes in each ( trust )
Christie when I went back 2015 had my notes from 1999 alone and nothing in between . Hope had the rest as I was careful to go only to one hospital in the city 1998, 2000 and 2012-5
They were gonna computerise all the notes in the country
but that has I think been abandoned as they couldnt erm guarantee confidentiality - they would not be able to stop porters and so on accessing them and everything else .....
BUT when I went to Torquay and got pleurisy
I showed the Tq GP my discharge notes from 2012 ( I was doing maff prep on the back of it and erm turned it over - diagnosis one side and differential calculus on the toher ) - he was able to access quite a lot from that ( NHS no ) - to wit i was really who I said I was and I had what I said I had.
so computers do march on in the NHS but slowly and silently
You are allowed to ask for and get a copy of your own hospital notes ( charge a tenner I think ) research has shown in kids you dont get better care you just get confusion between two sets of notes which are always out of kilter
