Accessing your GP Health Record
The easiest ways to access your GP health record are:
- using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
To access your GP health record online, you must be:
- registered with the surgery
- aged 16 or over
What’s in your GP health record
Your GP health record includes information such as:
- medicines your GP has prescribed
- allergies you have
- vaccinations you have had
- conditions you have been diagnosed with
- notes from appointments at the surgery
- results of tests the surgery has arranged
- letters that hospitals or specialists have sent to your GP
Your GP health record does not include information kept by other services that has not been sent to the surgery. This includes services like hospitals, dentists and opticians. To access this information, you will need to contact the service directly.
You can find out more information about your GP health record on the NHS website.
Accessing someone else’s information
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
Linked profiles in your NHS account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
