Boots wants access to patient records to enable expansion of diabetes management service

[Amity Island]

Major pharmacy chain Boots has said it wants improved record sharing with GPs in order to be able to expand its diabetes management service.

Following an appointment to assess suitability, patients would take the LumiraDx HbA1c finger prick diagnostic test, providing a result within seven minutes, and then be advised to discuss this with their GP if it indicates potential type 2 diabetes.
