Welcome to the Heart of Birmingham Teaching Primary Care Trust Interim Electronic Patient Record (iEPR) website. Here you will be find everything there is to know about the iEPR which is currently being implemented across the PCT.  Patient care is the pivotal agenda for all developments and we are committed to improving the lives of our residents and enhancing their well-being.

The Heart of Birmingham iEPR is an electronic patient record that contains information extracted from your GP and Hospital records and makes them available to clinical staff wherever they are treating you locally.

• It gives the people taking care of you the right information at the right time.
• It provides health professionals with the information to make informed decisions about your treatment more quickly.
• It reduces the time wasted waiting for information, meaning you can be treated sooner.

We always ensure any information stored about you in the iEPR is protected and seen only by the right people and for the right reasons.

We will protect your rights to privacy and confidentiality at all times.  A full audit trail of who has accessed your record is available via PALS.  Details on how to contact PALS can be found on the contact us page.

You must give your consent before your details may be accessed in the iEPR (unless it is an emergency) and you can opt out if you do not wish your record to be available in this way. To read more information about opting out, please click here.
