Your health record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you’re taking.
Most patients will automatically have access to more information added to their health record. This includes letters, test results and appointment notes.
You can access your health record and nominate someone you trust to access it too.
If you wish to access your medical record you’ll need to formally request full online access, or you’ll only see your medicines and allergies.
Request access to your full health record online
As of 6th February 2024 patients have full access their medical record via the NHS App unless a clinician feels the content could cause harm to the patient.
First, you need to register for online services and prove who you are. To request access:
- Use the online form
- upload or visit the surgery with photo ID so we can confirm your identity
- if you are setting up access for the first time, we will give you a username and password
- go to the NHS app for access
Access to other medical records
For any other medical records, you need to ask for them at the NHS service you went to. This includes records like your hospital record.
