Access your medical records
How to get your medical records
You can use the NHS App or log in through the NHS website to access your GP health record. This is a record of your personal health information. It may include details about your health conditions and treatments you've had. Important:Protecting your privacy Asking for a more detailed record Most people will automatically be given access to more information added to their more detailed GP record from November 2023 onwards. This includes letters, test results and appointment notes. Some people may also have access to information added to their GP record before this date. If you only have access to your summary record, you’ll see a message letting you know that you can request access to more information. You can contact your GP surgery and request access to your detailed coded record.
Your record may contain sensitive information. If someone is pressuring you for this information, contact your GP surgery immediately.
You can speak to your surgery if you would rather not have access to your health record in your NHS App.
If you have access to your GP health record, you will be able to see your summary record as a minimum. This contains information about your medicines and allergies.
