Request your Medical Records

All patients have the right to request access to their medical records. This is known as a ‘subject access request’ and needs to be reviewed by a doctor before access can be granted.

Under the Data Protection Act, we will respond to your request for access to records within a maximum of one calendar month from the date of the request.

We can decline to supply some of your request if, for example:

  • It is likely to cause serious harm to the physical or mental health of any individual
  • The information you have asked for contains information that relates to another person

The majority of patient records are now held electronically. There may be additional paper records held for some patients that contain health data from before medical records were digitalised (more than 20 years ago).

A person with parental responsibility will usually be entitled to access the records of a child who is aged under 11. Children aged 11 or older are usually considered to have the capacity to give or refuse consent to parents requesting access to their health records, unless there is a reason to suggest otherwise. If you are requesting access to records for a child aged 11-15, they will need to provide their consent to this. Please submit this form and we will contact you further to discuss the required paperwork and proof of ID.

We will need the patient's written consent if you wish to access their record. Where written consent is not possible, other arrangements will be necessary. We will contact you to discuss this further, once the form has been received.
