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.

To make a request, you can complete our online Subject Access Request form here - Subject Access Request

Your GP record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you're taking.

You can access your GP record and nominate someone you trust to access it too. If you wish to nominate a friend or family member to have access to your record and treatments, you must complete the consent form at the practice. Please ask at reception. This applies for anyone over the age of 16

If you wish to have a copy of your medical record, you can submit a Subject Access Request in writing to the surgery. It may take up to 3 weeks to locate all your notes and create a copy. If you only need certain information, please consider making a specific request for this rather than the whole record.
