How to get your medical records

Medical records hold information about you. They are also sometimes called health records.

You'll have separate records for any NHS service you go to including your GP surgery, hospital, dentist or opticians.

How to get your record depends on which record it is.

How to get your GP record

Your GP record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you're taking.

 

If you wish to access your Medical record you are required to complete a SAR (subject access request) form which is available at reception. This will take approximately 28 days for completion once we have received the completed form and ID document. The record will be available via email or a paper copy.
