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
There are 3 main ways to get your GP record:
01 – Using your NHS account
You can get your GP record by logging into your account using the NHS app or NHS website.
First, you need to register for online services and prove who you are. You can do this when you create an account.
You’ll need to ask your GP surgery for online access to your full record, or you’ll only see your medicines and allergies.
