Scanning them onto CD rom is what I have recently done for old records. Got
a written assurance of confidentiality from the company, including reference
to disposal of the paper records once scanned before starting. Not
expensive really either Lots of NHS Trusts scan records now so your local
NHS Trust or IT person may be able to give you a local company to contact.
This method allows you to keep the CD's of records and therefore look them
up and print them off quickly if needed. Past experience several years ago
with microfiches records showed that the printed records you can get back
from a microfiches to be rather dark and not great quality but maybe that's
improved.

Subject: Microfiche records
Can anyone help with addresses of companies who microfiche medical records.
I have inherited years of old records. Are records processed on site and
how do we get over the confidentiality issue?
Grateful for advice.
Regards
Christine
