How does medical record scanning work?
1 - Collection
We will pack and collect the medical documents from your practice or hospital through our internally managed fleet of tracked vehicles. For large-scale projects, a collection schedule will be arranged to suit your diary.
2 - Preparation
On arrival, all archive boxes are booked onto our internal tracking system and transferred to production where each medical record is manually prepared for scanning (removal of paperclips & staples).
3 - Scanning
Our experienced technicians will scan your documents in B&W or colour, exporting the digital image to your preferred format (e.g.PDF). Electronic records will also be indexed according to patient DOB, NHS number or any other reference.
4 - Delivery
Electronic documents are uploaded to the cloud, enabling flexible, remote access and effective document management. Alternatively, you can choose access via SFTP or an encrypted hard-drive.

NHS scanning services
Working with the NHS on numerous scanning projects, we've built long-term relationships with many Trusts and ICBs and individual consultants and surgeons.
With the NHS storing and processing millions of patient records yearly, having the ability to access critical information about individuals who require care quickly and efficiently is vital.
“Digital systems are the foundation upon which we will build a modern, efficient and responsive health service.”
NHS England
Storetec is committed to helping as many NHS healthcare practices as possible make the paperless initiative a realistic goal.
As part of our document scanning service, one of our experienced consultants will visit your practice free of charge to gain a full understanding of the project requirements. We will also complete an audit of your medical archive, offering valuable advice on retention periods and data protection regulations.
Accredited patient record scanning services
Ensuring patient data is kept private and confidential is fundamental to the doctor-patient relationship. Under GDPR, medical practices will need to gain consent when collecting patient data and ensure this data is stored in an accessible yet safe location. GDPR is a welcome move for medical and healthcare services as it will remove many of the grey areas that have led to breaches in the past and will ensure that patient data is more likely to be managed successfully.
Storetec is founded on the provision of secure, quality services to meet the demands of all public and private medical services. Throughout the scanning process, we work to stringent standards, including ISO 27001 for Information Security, ISO 9001 for Quality Management and BS10008 for the Evidential Weight and Legal Admissibility of Electronic Information.
