We manage requests for access to medical records according to the Act.
The most efficient way to have ongoing access to your medical record is via SystmOnline or the NHS app; please contact reception if you would like to register for this.
You can request a copy of your medical record (a subject access request) if you would like to make a subject access request please contact the practice manager in writing. There is not usually a charge for this service unless this is a repeat request for copies of your records or the request is deemed excessive.
If you’re registered with a GP surgery you’ll have a Summary Care Record, unless you’ve chosen not to have one. It contains basic information including your allergies and medicines. It also includes any previous reactions you’ve had to medicine.
Having this information in one place makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when the practice is closed.
