Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access:

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.

For further information, please see: How to get your medical records – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Allowing others to speak on your behalf

Due to patient confidentiality, we are unable to discuss any aspect of a patient’s medical record with anybody other than the patient, without their express consent, except for someone holding a Health and Welfare Power of Attorney, or the parent of a young child.

If you would like to consent for someone else to be able to discuss your medical records with practice staff please complete and return the ‘Allowing Others to Speak on Your Behalf form‘.
