The GP contract in England commits practices to offer patients ‘full online access’ to prospective information in their health record. Research to date has mainly focussed on the impacts of records access on patient outcomes, but there is little work on how these services could be improved for both patients and clinicians. This project will be embedded within an NIHR-funded programme of research exploring how patients having online access to their primary care record impacts upon their experiences of care, and the experiences of those delivering that care. The project will entail qualitative methods for: initial exploratory work, design of potential platform enhancements/interventions, intervention development, and feasibility testing.
