Access to Medical Records

The General Data Protection Regulation of May 2018 gives you right of access to all information the practice and the Primary Care organisations hold about you, both on manual records and the computer. It is your legal right to see your records and, if you so wish, to obtain a photocopy of them.

Only in exceptional circumstances can access be withheld. If you would like to apply for access to information held about you, or would like further information about the Act, please discuss this with the person in charge of your care or write to the practice manager at the surgery address.

Please visit this NHS Page about accessing your medical records, and this guide can help you understand abbreviations used on medical records.
