Zebradeb Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi All, I've just read through a checklist before you leave document, in which it states that you need to ask your doctors and dentists for handover files? Is this correct? Is most of it on line these days that can be emailed across when requested from Oz? Has anyone got any advice or experience with this? thanks in advance Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic964 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi Deb, we asked for copies of our medical records, which were scanned onto discs and we took them with us. Our dentist said that it wasnt really needed so we didnt bother. On getting here our doctor didnt ask for any records, and when we gave them our disc, they asked for hardcopies anyway. From memory it was around 100 pounds each for a disc of our records. Overall unless you have some specific illness's that you wanted to have records of, then I wouldnt bother. Unfortunately I don't think doctors will share medical records directly, and as the software systems they use are all different, they cant easily transfer them. Hope that helps Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
