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, community clinics, dentist or opticians.
Your GP record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you're taking.
Futher information includes hospital letters, test results and appointment notes.
You can access your GP record and nominate someone you trust to access it too.
Please contact the surgery to request access to your records. Once requested, your records should be ready to collect within 28 days. This time may be extended if the records are particularly complex.
