Access your medical records
How to get your medical records
Medical records hold information about you. They are also sometimes called health records.
You’ll have separate records for any NHS service you go to including your GP surgery, hospital, dentist or opticians.
How to get your record depends on which record it is.
How to get your GP record
Your GP record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you’re taking.
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.
To obtain full access to your GP record there is form available at the reception desk to complete. You will need to provide two separate forms of identification- one of which must be photo identification (passport/ drivers licence) and the other is proof of the address we currently hold for you and must be dated within the last 3 months.
Using your NHS Account
You can get your GP record by logging into your account using the NHS app or NHS website.
First, you need to register for online services and prove who you are. You can do this when you create an account.
You’ll need to ask your GP surgery for online access to your record, or you’ll only see your medicines and allergies.
