You can use the NHS App or log in through the NHS website to access your GP health record. This is a record of your personal health information. It may include details about your health conditions and treatments you've had.

Requesting Access to a More Detailed Health Record

If you have access to your GP health record, you will at least be able to see your summary record, which includes information about your medicines and allergies.

From November 2023 onwards, most people will automatically receive access to additional details in their GP record, such as:

• Letters from healthcare providers
• Test results
• Appointment notes

Some patients may also have access to records added before this date.

If you currently only have access to your summary record, you will see a message informing you that you can request further access. To view more details, you can now request access to your full medical records by using an online form

How to Access Your Record:

• Using Your NHS Account:

  • Register for online services and verify your identity when setting up your NHS account.
  • Contact your GP surgery to request full access to your medical record. Without this, you will only see your medications and allergies.
  • Once approved, log in via the NHS App or NHS website to view your record.

• Requesting Your Record in Person:

  • You can also ask for a copy of your GP record by visiting the surgery.
