WML staff were thrilled with the turnout with more than 35 people signing up.
Narromine Men’s Shed members John Lenehan and Les Farr made their way to the health centre during a work break at the shed.
Both men said there was no harm in signing up.
“There’s a record of your medication, so if I’m in a car accident or something, the doctors will know my medications,” Mr Lenehan said.
They agreed it didn’t take too long to sign up.
“It took us about 10 minutes and we just have to see the GP,” Mr Farr said.
An eHealth record is an electronic summary of a patient’s key health information drawn from their existing patient records. Any information can be uploaded by an authorised healthcare professional which is typically a person’s regular GP.
