How do I access my medical records?

Your GP health record includes information about the care you've had from your GP surgery.

What's in your GP record?

• medicines your GP has prescribed
• allergies you have
• vaccinations you've had
• conditions you've been diagnosed with
• notes from appointments at your GP surgery
• results of tests your GP surgery has arranged
• letters that hospitals or specialists have sent to your GP

Important

When you view your record online, you may only see information that was added recently. If you need to see older information, you'll have to ask your GP surgery to make it visible.

What's not in your GP record?

Information kept by other services (such as hospitals, dentists and opticians) that has not been sent to your GP – to get this information, you'll need to contact these services directly.

How to see all the information in your GP health record

When you view your GP health record online, you should be able to see any information that was added recently.
