You can access your health record online and nominate someone you trust to access it too – this is called Proxy Access.

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 for online services and prove who you are. To request access:

• 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.
