Changes to the GP Contract require all surgeries to offer and promote the facility for patients to view their medical records online, which will show your summary information from their records relating to medications, allergies, adverse reactions and additional data that the doctor has agreed the patient may have access.
This is an extension to the service we already provide which allows patients to make appointments, cancel appointments and order repeat medications.
In preparation for this we would encourage all patients to register for ‘online access’. You will need to complete a form at reception and provide photo identification. We will then process this and give you log-in details. You can also download the patient online: registration form here (DOCX, 34KB).
Once this has been approved when you next log in you will have access to your medical records.
