Delivering excellent healthcare is dependent on having well-organised medical records. More patients mean more paperwork, so it all needs to be stored efficiently. Maintaining well-organised medical records is crucial to delivering excellent healthcare services. With so many patients and multiple clinicians contributing to patient care, it’s vital that all medical records and documents are stored and managed in the most efficient way possible. From Lloyd George records to progress notes to test results, failure to meet these standards can often result in mistakes and delays that ultimately put the wellbeing of patients at risk.

Medical records – in both private healthcare and public NHS – are some of the most sensitive documents we store at our archiving centre. Whilst many clinical records can now be stored online, most are legally required to be stored in their physical, paper form (such as Lloyd George GP records). It’s the highly confidential nature of medical documents that emphasises the importance of securely storing them in accordance with the Records Management Code of Practice for Health and Social Care 2016. Medical records are essential to allowing continuity of care for patients and, when you consider that there are over 65 million people in the UK, that’s an awful lot of paperwork.
Storing this quantity of medical documents and data on-site is both time and space consuming. These records will only accumulate over time as all existing patients’ documents are subject to lengthy retention periods. Flexible Storage offers you a professional medical records storage service you can trust.
As one of the most durable and long-lasting documents in the healthcare sector, Lloyd George GP records are some of the most common medical records we store at the Flexible Storage archiving facility. Named after the WW1 Prime Minister and having been used in the UK for over 100 years, Lloyd George records have a history that long predates the NHS. While these medical records have certainly stood the test of time, they are still in need of a secure storage space where they can be stored for the duration of their retention periods while also still being easily accessible to healthcare professionals. An experienced medical records storage facility such as Flexible Storage can provide both this security and accessibility, all at a competitive price.
Allowing Flexible Storage to store and manage your files will ensure that your medical documents are in the safest possible hands and fully compliant with GDPR. We will collect, index and store all of your healthcare data in our specialised archiving centre. Document retrieval has never been easier than with our file management service, which gives you full online access to manage and retrieve any files from the comfort of your own desk. Our deep storage service is another great cost-effective solution for medical records that do not need regular access but have long retention periods.
As medical documents are highly confidential, it’s imperative that they are safely destroyed when they are no longer needed. At Flexible Storage, we can facilitate the secure destruction of your confidential waste through our fully licensed partner company. This service guarantees that your medical files will be professionally shredded as each destruction comes with full certification.
All of our medical archive storage, management and destruction services are tailored to your company’s specific needs so you are receiving the best possible service.
