Medical records hold information about you. They are also sometimes called health records.
You'll have separate records for any NHS service you go to including your GP surgery, hospital, dentist or opticians.
How to get your record depends on which record it is and you will need to contact the relevant health organisation.
GP Record
Your GP record includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you're taking.
Most patients will automatically be given access to more information added to their online GP record from November 2022 onwards. This includes letters, test results and appointment notes. Some people may also have access to information added to their GP record before this date.
You can access your GP record online and/or nominate someone you trust to access it too.
