Access 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.

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.

Some people may also have access to information added to their GP record before this date.

You can access your GP record and nominate someone you trust to access it too.

You can get your GP record logging into your account using the NHS app or NHS website.

First, you need to register for online services and prove who you are by visiting the surgery with photo ID. You can do this when you create an account.

You'll need to ask your GP surgery for online access to your full record, or you'll only see your medicines and allergies.

The government / NHS have enabled you to empower yourself to look at and print off your Medical Records as you reqire them, as long as you have been given the authority to do so, therefore your GP Surgery does not provide copies of Medical Records.
