Access to Medical Records

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations, Data Protection Act 2018 and Access to Health Records Act, patients may request to see their medical records. To make a request, please complete the Patient Access to Medical Records Request and bring to the practice together with a form of photo ID. No information will be released without the patient consent unless we are legally obliged to do so.

Online Services Records Access Patient Information Leaflet provides some useful information about accessing medical records online.

If you require access to another patient’s medical record for care purposes, please complete the Patient consent to disclose medical information to others form.  Again, we will not approve this request without explicit consent from the patient.
