THE NHS APP AND ACCESS TO YOUR ONLINE RECORDS

Posted on September 16th, 2023

There are a number of apps including the NHS APP that provide access to your medical records, details of medication, allergies and other useful information. You can book appointments online and order repeat precriptions.

From 4th October 2023, most of our patients in Portcullis Surgery who over the age of 16 will be able to see any new information added to their health record.

This means that you will be able to see any notes from your appointments with your GP, as well as test results and any letters that are saved on your records.

This only applies to records from your doctor (GP), not from hospitals or other specialists. For most people, access will be automatic, and you won’t need to do anything. Our practice staff will be able to customise or remove access for individuals if this is deemed inappropriate.

You can view this via the NHS App, NHS website, or another GP online app you use.

For more information about online access to records aswell as information on how to register for the NHS app please visit our website.
