Release space with records digitisation, the latest GP telephony, reduce energy costs and save on advanced automatic call and recall.

Take the stress out of digitising records

GP practices across the UK are using Restore Information Management’s RecordRoom to reduce storage pressures, improve access to patient information and prepare for the future of digital healthcare.

By securely storing paper records offsite and digitising them either in full or on demand, practices can free up valuable space without compromising access. Digital files are available quickly, while same-day retrieval of physical records ensures patient care is never delayed.

Why GP practices choose RecordRoom:

  • 🩺 Reclaim storage areas for clinical or operational use.
  • ⚡ Access patient records digitally, whenever needed.
  • 🔐 Protect records from loss, damage and deterioration.
  • 🚚 Benefit from NHS-approved secure storage facilities located within two hours of your practice.
  • 📈 Support readiness for the NHS National Digital Records (NDR) programme by reducing reliance on paper records and creating a clearer path to digitisation.

Read how 160 GP practices improved efficiency, released valuable space and enhanced patient care through a records transformation programme delivered in partnership with NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB.
