Access Medical Records
There are three ways to access your medical records.
To access your medical records on your electronic device you must already be registered for Patient Access. To authorise this additional feature, please submit the form below. Once completed please attend the surgery three working days later, to verify and sign the document with two forms of identification:
- Photo ID – Driving license or Passport
- Proof of address – Bank statement, Utility or Council tax bill and must be dated within the last three months
A GP then needs to review your request, this may take up to 21 days. Once this has been authorised by the GP, you will be notified by text message with the password to view your records on Patient Access.
You will have access to your medical records for 11 days, after which it will expire. You may repeat this process at any time to access your medical records.

Please note we aim to prepare a copy of medical records within 30 days (in compliance to GDPR), however this may be delayed during the current pandemic.
Once your medical records are ready we will email you via a secure email tool called Egress, for which you will have to register. The email will contain a secure code and link which will direct you to a copy of your medical records. Egress allows us to send confidential information securely.
