Accessing your records

You have a right to access the information recorded about you. Please be aware that the notes do not belong to you. They are the property of the NHS.

We are happy to help patients who wish to gain access to their medical records. To exercise this right please write to the Practice Manager with your request. We will then find you somewhere comfortable in the practice to look through them.

Unfortunately, you cannot take your medical records away from the practice. You can, however, request a photocopy of some, or all, of you records. There is a charge for this service to cover copying and staff time.

If others, such as solicitors, wish to access your records, a consent form sgned by yourself must accompany their request (signed within the preceding 28 days).
