If you're online, the internet can play a big part of your daily life. With a PC, tablet, or smartphone, you really can have the whole world in your hand. You can go shopping, do your banking, buy tickets for travel, get information, or simply keep in touch with family and friends.

There's a lot you can do online when it comes to taking care of your health care, too. From apps to help you boost your well-being to potentially connecting with your GP surgery, the option of booking appointments with your GP or ordering repeat prescriptions will soon be available to more people. And in the future, you'll be able to access a summary of your medical record online along with other services and information perhaps through just one website or app.

Your medical record will be more joined up, bringing together information held by your GP practise, any hospitals you visit, and eventually any social and community care services that you access. The record will also be available to appropriate professionals involved in your care, so they can securely share and see your information whenever this is useful. Joining things up in this way could help improve the support you receive and your health care experience. Having access to your medical record could make you more informed about your health care and about your conditions and help you manage them better.

So what do you think? Do you have any thoughts or ideas on how this could work for you? We'd love to hear from you. So why not get in touch today and find out how you can help shape digital health.
