How can I see my GP health record?
Your GP health record includes information about the care you’ve had from your GP surgery.
What’s in your GP record:
- Medicines your GP has prescribed
- Allergies you have
- Vaccinations you’ve had
- Long-term conditions you’ve been diagnosed with
- Notes from appointments at your GP surgery
- Results of tests your GP surgery has arranged
- Letters that hospitals or specialists have sent to your GP.
What’s not in your GP record
Information kept by other services (such as hospitals, dentists and opticians) that has not been sent to your GP – to get this information, you’ll need to contact these services directly
How to see all the information in your GP health record
When you view your GP health record online, you should be able to see any information that was added recently.
If you need to see older information in your record (historic record information), you’ll have to ask your GP surgery to make it available online.
How to ask for access to historic record information and what happens next
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.
