Profiles
Have you ever sat across the desk from a doctor with all your medical information on their side of the desk?
At MMP, we strongly believe that this is the wrong starting point for any consultation. Instead, patients should have more control when interacting with health care professionals.
MMP provides a structured, secure storage facility for you to record ‘key information’ regarding your medical conditions. With this record to hand you can enter consultations empowered with the medical information healthcare providers are looking for.

No more missing notes and wasted hospital visits!
All too often as practicing doctors we see patients in clinic and their medical notes are either missing or incomplete. Invariably this leads to the wasted time of both the patient and health care professional. This can be easily avoided when you take your medical profile to each consultation.
What is ‘Key Medical Information’?
When you see a healthcare professional there are always key pieces of information they will want to know. This information ranges from what illnesses you have had and what treatments you received to whether you have any allergies. If you have ever been in hospital you will know that you can feel like a broken record always repeating the same information to every new person you meet.
We provide you with a template to collect all the key information that healthcare professionals will want to know. This will allow you to take a concise report with you to all future clinic appointments or hospital admissions. Avoiding the repetitions of the same questions again and again, giving you key information to hand to answer those awkward questions.
Secure storage for your medical records
MMP provides a secure storage facility for your own medical record which you can update regularly and access any where, any time. You can print a copy and take it with you to all consultations.

Current and Past Medical Conditions
To treat you safely and correctly your doctors need to know both the medical conditions affecting you at the moment and those you have had in the past. These may range from high blood pressure to skin rashes, all are key. MyMedicalProfile prompts you for the most important information about each.
Treatments Received
Understanding the order of illnesses and the treatments received is a key element which enables healthcare professionals to treat patients appropriately. MyMedicalProfile storage facilities enable you to have a concise overview of this essential information.
Medications
Doctors need detailed information regarding the medications you are not only on at the moment but have also received in the past. Knowing why one drug was stopped or changed in the past will guide your doctors to choose appropriate ones today.
Often when we see patients in clinic there is not an up to date medication list available, making meaningful review of the patient’s medications impossible. Our service guides you in maintaining an accurate list of your medications, maximising any visits you have to healthcare professionals.
By keeping this list up to date in the years to come you will not struggle to remember what drug was used when, or why one was stopped over another.
Allergies
Allergies can be an everyday nuisance such as hay fever. But more seriously they can also be life threatening. Therefore, when ever a doctor sees you they will need to know details of any allergies you may have. This section of your MedicalProfile may seem minor but is absolutely vital.
Immunisations
Successful childhood immunisation programmes have been a major component in the breakthrough which has allowed the control of previously common infectious diseases, such as mumps and polio.
To enable successful protection to be achieved, a series of injections, known as boosters, are normally required. After the initial immunisations, in childhood, these can sometimes be required every 3-10 years, such as tetanus. This section of MyMedicalProfile is designed not only to provide a long term record of childhood vaccinations. But, also provide a valuable record of vaccines required for work or travel such as hepatitis, yellow fever or diphtheria.
Blood Pressure Records
Reducing high blood pressure greatly reduces the risk of heart disease, strokes and kidney failure. Essential to achieving good control of high blood pressure is regular monitoring and clear documentation of any changes in medications. This tool allows you to create your own record of your blood pressure readings and relate this to any changes in your medications. This will then form a part of your medical record to take to your next appointment.
