Medical records hold information about you. They are also sometimes called health records.<\/p>\n
You’ll have separate records for any NHS service you go to including your GP surgery, hospital, dentist or opticians.<\/p>\n
How to get your record depends on which record it is.<\/p>\n
Your GP record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you’re taking.<\/p>\n
Most patients will automatically be given access to more information added to their GP record from November 2022 onwards. This includes letters, test results and appointment notes.<\/p>\n
Some people may also have access to information added to their GP record before this date.<\/p>\n
You can access your GP record and nominate someone you trust to access it too.<\/p>\n
