How to Access Your Medical Records

How to access your health records

There are a number of different types of health record, accessing them is free, and healthcare professionals have a legal requirement to allow you to see them.

GP records

GP records include information about your medicine, allergies, vaccinations, previous illnesses and test results, hospital discharge summaries, appointment letters and referral letters.

You can access your GP records, and nominate someone you trust to access them, through GP online services.

New Patient Health Check

Any new patient aged 16 and over on regular medication or with a significant health problem will be contacted for a new patient health check. 

Temporary Patient Registrations

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

For your convenience, all of our registered patients are entitled to use either the main surgery in Newnham Walk or our Branch surgery located at Petty Cury, 65-67 Sidney Street.

At Newnham Walk there is a car park for patients visiting the surgery. However patients should be aware that during busy periods the car park does get full. During these occasions there is pay and display parking available in Newnham Walk, Wordsworth Grove, Ridley Hall Road and Sidgwick Avenue.
