If you would like to request access to someone else’s medical records to book appointments, order medication, or view their health records, then they will need to complete a Proxy Access to Health Records if they are over the age of 11.
The Proxy form needs to be signed by the patient giving access. In some cases the Practice may need further information or may need to contact the patient directly to discuss this.
Please see the toolkits for more information on proxy access and the risks and benefits:
GP online services toolkit: Applications for proxy access
Please be aware that you will need to have online access and will have to have your own e-mail address.
If you are unsure about this please contact us to discuss.
