Access to Records

How you can get access to your own health records

You have a right under Data Protection legislation to find out what information about you is held on computer and in certain manual records. You can also request copies.

In order to access your records you need to let the Practice know by making a Subject Access Request (SAR). Usually there is no charge for this unless the request is excessive or complicated. The practice will respond within one month of receipt of your request.

In certain circumstances your right to see some details in your health records may be limited in your own interest or for other reasons.
