Is your GP practice feeling the strain of overflowing filing cabinets and limited storage space? You’re not alone. Across the UK, many practices are grappling with the logistical and operational challenges of managing decades’ worth of Lloyd George envelopes and paper records. The result? Cluttered offices, time-consuming retrieval processes and a growing need for smarter, more sustainable solutions.
Key Digital’s Lloyd George Digitisation Service is a streamlined solution that’s helping GP practices reclaim space, improve efficiency and future-proof their record management.
The Problem: Paper Overload
Lloyd George envelopes have long been the backbone of patient record-keeping, but in today’s digital-first NHS landscape, they’re becoming more of a burden than a benefit. Practices are often forced to dedicate entire rooms to storage, while staff spend valuable time locating and handling physical files. It’s not just inconvenient – it’s costly, inefficient and unsustainable.
The Solution: Digitisation with Key Digital
Key Digital’s Lloyd George Digitisation Service converts physical patient records into secure, searchable digital files. This means:
- More space: Free up rooms previously used for storage and repurpose them for clinical or administrative use
- Faster access: Locate patient records in seconds, not minutes
- Improved compliance: Meet NHS digital transformation goals and GDPR requirements with ease
- Enhanced security: Protect sensitive data with encrypted digital storage and controlled access
How It Works
Key Digital handles the entire process – from collection and scanning to indexing and secure upload. Our team ensures every record is digitised accurately and integrated seamlessly into your existing systems. The result? A smooth transition with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.
You Are Not Alone
Key Digital has successfully delivered Lloyd George Digitisation for numerous GP practices across the UK, helping them unlock valuable space and streamline their operations. Practices that once struggled with overflowing storage rooms have been able to repurpose those areas for clinical use, staff wellbeing, or additional patient services. The transition to digital records has also dramatically reduced retrieval times, improved data security and enhanced compliance with NHS digital transformation goals. Many practices report smoother workflows, happier staff, and a renewed sense of control over their record management.
