Non-urgent advice:
Medical records hold information about you. They are sometimes called health records.
Your GP medical record includes:
past conditions
allergies
medication
test results
appointment notes and latters
You will have different records for other NHS services you’ve used, including hospitals, dentists and opticians. To access these records, you’ll need to contact the relevant service.
Using the NHS app or website
The NHS app is a quick way to access NHS services. Using the NHS app means you do not need to enter your personal details each time you contact the surgery. You can read more about the app on the NHS website.
You can view your GP medical record online using your NHS account.
You will need the NHS app or your NHS account login details.
You may need to ask the surgery for access to view your medical records in your NHS account. You’ll only need to do this once.
