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.

If you require copies of your medical records, this is called a Subject Access Request. You can request these be any of the following pathways:

• In person at the reception desk
• By email to laurie.hunter@nhs.net
• Telephone the surgery and we can send an online link to you in order for you to request this

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

If you require online access to your medical records including letters, test results and consultation information, please call into the surgery to complete a Patient Access Request.

You can access your GP record and if you so wish, you can nominate someone you trust to access it too.

You can obtain 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.
