Email Policy
Emailing has become a pivotal source of communication in today's society. Pulse Holistic Medical Centre has introduced an email service to enable patients to receive results and correspondence from the practice only as directed by the Doctor via email.
This email service is limited to the following:
Letter of notification that the patient is due for a review or PAP smear.
Letter of notification that the patient is needing to be seen non-urgent regarding test results.
Patient results as per doctors' orders
Doctor notes or letters from doctor
Pathology/Imaging forms
Patient history
Please do not email for appointments or clinical information.
Emails are sent over the internet and as such may not be secure. Once your results are in your care, the surgery cannot take responsibility.

What This Means for You
AI tools may assist your practitioner by creating draft notes based on the information discussed during your consultation.
These notes are reviewed and approved by your practitioner before being added to your medical record.
No decisions about your health will be made by AI. Your practitioner remains fully responsible for your care and for all clinical decisions.
Your information will be handled securely and confidentially at all times.
Your Rights
You have the right to ask questions about how AI is used in your care.
You can decline the use of AI-generated notes at any time without affecting your treatment or care.
Choosing not to participate will not affect the quality of care you receive.
