Setting up your Personal Health Record (PHR)
When you create your online account, you will be setting up access to your Personal Health Record (PHR). A PHR is a secure online version of some of your clinic health information, connected to your patient records in our clinical system. It is specific to your sexual health records in our clinic only and is completely separate from all other medical records. After registering, you simply log in to your PHR account, where you can easily view and manage aspects of your sexual health care on your computer, tablet, or phone.
If you have already created your PHR you can log in hereHow to register for your PHR account
If you are already a patient with Brighton and Hove SHAC:
Important — Register Using the Link Sent to You
We are emailing all existing patients a unique registration link to create their PHR account. You will already be a patient if you have used our service before (for example, attended a clinic or completed an STI test, including home testing kits).
It is very important that you use this emailed link to register. If you start registration through the personal health record and do not use your unique link, the system will create a new PHR account that is not linked to your existing clinic record.
If you haven’t received a link via email you can request a new one by completing the PHR request invitation form.
If you are a new patient with Brighton and Hove SHAC:
You can register online for a personal health record account and a clinic record from within the PHR application. You can only register for yourself using your own details.
To create your account visit the login screen and click register.
The registration process is very secure and uses multi-factor authentication. You will need to provide your private email account, mobile number, and set your own password.
A verification email will be sent to you containing a link that you must click within 24hrs to confirm you have received it. You will then be sent a verification code via SMS text message to your mobile phone number. This code can then be entered into the PHR application which will take you to the ‘My Details’ feature to complete your registration with the service.
It is important that we have the correct contact details for you. You must use your own phone number and email address (not a shared account).
What can I do with my PHR account?
With your PHR account you can:
- Book, change or cancel appointments online (where available)
- Order at home STI test kits
- View test results (taken in clinic or from at home STI test kits)
- Receive secure messages and information from our clinic team
- Manage your contact details and personal preferences
Your PHR account is designed to support your care with our clinical team – it does not replace other ways of accessing our services.
