Accessing your health record

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

Most patients will automatically have access to more information added to their health record. This includes letters, test results and appointment notes.

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

You can use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App) or Patient Access to access your health record.

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

Request access to your full health record online

First you need to register online for the NHS app services.

If you are having problems accessing your full health record please contact the surgery.

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.
