Record Access
From 31st October 2023 you may be able to have access to your GP held records via the NHS App or NHS website
We have been asked by NHS England to provide you with access to your full medical record from 31 October 2023 via the NHS app and/or the NHS website if you have a suitable NHS login.
We are supportive of providing you with access to your records, but we wish to do this safely. We have an obligation under General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) to safeguard the information we hold about you and have carried out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) to make sure we are able to legally honour our data safeguarding obligations.
We believe, and are supported by the British Medical Association (BMA) , that there are insufficient safeguards in place so we will not be automatically allowing patients access to their records after 31 October 23.
Everyone will have access to their medication history and allergies and will be able to order their repeat prescriptions (subject to you having NHS login).
If you should require access to your full record where you will be able to see everything, including the notes which have been written by doctors, nurses and others involved in your care at the Practice and elsewhere, we ask you to complete the application form, available from the Practice in order for your request can be assessed by your GP. Remember, you will only see your records from the date of your application, access will not typically be available for historic patient records.
