Our
online services allow patients to book appointments and order repeat
prescriptions over the internet in a secure way. You can also access your
GP-held records.
Accessing your GP-held records via the
NHS app or NHS website
As your GP practice,
we have been asked to provide you with, no later than 31 October 2023, access
to your full medical record going forward via the NHS app (and NHS website) if
you have a suitable NHS login.
Your GP medical
record contains consultation notes based on conversations between you, your GP,
and their team: medicines prescribed to you; all test results including
hospital investigations; allergies; vaccines; and your medical conditions along
with documents that may have been sent from local hospitals, clinics, or other
agencies, e.g., the police. There is likely to be sensitive and personal
information within your medical record.
We are supportive of
providing you with access to your record, but we wish to do this safely and
make you aware that this is happening so that you can opt out, if you so wish.
Government has been clear that if a patient does not wish to have access, then
we do not have to provide it. This is one reason why we have asked if you wish
to opt out, or have it switched off for the time being.
For those who would like access, the different levels available are:
In order to do this, you will need
to complete an Application Form (please see below) which is
available to download and return the completed form to Reception ALONG
WITH photographic ID and recent proof of address – needed for data
protection purposes.
A username and password will be issued
by the Practice – please allow at least one working day before
you collect this from Reception.
Everyone who needs appointments to be
booked online will need to have completed a form, as the system will recognise
the log in and only book appointments for that person. ID is not needed for
children under 16 years.
