As your GP practice, we have been asked by NHS England to provide you with access to your full primary care medical record going forward from 31st October 2023. This will be via the NHS app and the NHS website if you have a suitable NHS login.
Please note this access is only to your prospective primary care record. This does not include hospital records or results of investigations requested anywhere else as these are not available on the primary care record.
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.
It is important that you understand the risks that may be involved in having such confidential data, either on your smartphone with the NHS app installed, or online if other people might have access to that information through your devices.
The government has been clear that if a patient does not wish to have access, then we do not have to provide it.
