All patients have the right to access information in their health record. This includes letters, test results and appointment notes.
You also have the right to nominate another person who you would like to be able to access your record.
To access your health record online you can use
- Airmid
- Your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- SystmOnline
You will be able to view everything in your record from the date you registered for online access or 1st November 2022, whichever is later. To view your record before that date you will need to submit a request.
Request access to your full health record online
To request access:
- Fill out a register for online services form and choose to access your full health record
- 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
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.
Proxy access
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
To request proxy access please collect a proxy access form from reception from 10am to 6pm
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
