Patients may sometimes be asked by a clinician to send photographs or documents to help with their care.

Please only upload photos or documents if you have been asked to do so by a member of our clinical team.

Uploaded images or documents will be sent securely to the practice and added to your medical record where appropriate.

Important information

• Images you send form part of your confidential medical record
• They will be reviewed by a clinician at the practice
• They may be shared with other healthcare professionals involved in your care if necessary
• Please ensure photographs are clear and in focus

Tips for taking helpful photos

If you are sending a photograph of a skin problem or other condition, please try to:

• Use a phone or camera with good image quality
• Take photos in good lighting
• Take more than one photo
• Include one photo from further away to show the location on the body
• Take a close-up image of the area
• Keep the affected area in the centre of the image
• Avoid blurry or out-of-focus images

Please do not send photos unless requested by a clinician.
