Request access to your full health record online
To view your full health record, you first need to request access.
- Complete the application for online access form
- You may be asked to upload or visit the surgery with photo ID so we can confirm your identity.
- If you are setting up access for the first time, we will give you a username and password.
Access to other medical records
For any other medical records, you need to ask for them at the NHS service you went to. This includes records like your hospital record.
Accessing the health record of someone else
If you would like somebody to help manage your health, you can give them access to your online services. This is called a linked profile in the NHS app or proxy access in other online providers. The other person may be a parent, family member or carer.
You need to ask the practice to set up proxy access for you.
Complete a application for online access form including proxy access
The person you are giving access to will need to show us their identification documents.
If the person you want to give access to is registered with us, they can use the NHS app to view your services as a linked profile.
If the person you want to give access to is registered at a different practice, they can use our online service as a proxy user for your services.
Getting help to go digital
We realise that not everyone is confident using technology and digital access. That’s why we still offer traditional ways to get in touch, like the telephone. If you want to improve your digital skills and take advantage of newer ways to engage with us, then free training and support is available.
