Access to Records

Accessing your own GP Record

View your GP health record using your NHS App or account.

You can view your GP health record using the NHS App or by logging into your account on the NHS website. You can create an account if you do not already have one.

To view your GP record online, you must be:

registered with a GP surgery
aged 16 or over

When you create an account, you’ll need to prove your identity before you can view your GP health record. This helps keep your record secure.

What’s in your GP health record

Your GP health record includes information such as:

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

Your GP health record does not include information kept by other services that has not been sent to the surgery. This includes services like hospitals, dentists and opticians. To access this information, you will need to contact the service directly.

You can find out more information about your GP health record on the NHS website.
