Requests for Accessing a Patient’s own Medical Record
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) gives individuals the right of access to their personal data from any person or organisation that holds information about them. This right is commonly exercised through a ‘subject access request’ (SAR).
Patients are entitled to request information we hold about them. The easiest solution is to provide patients with online access to their GP record which will empower them to access their record themselves. If, however, copies of paper records are required, this can be organised, but it is a lengthier and more elaborate process. Please fill-in the request form below:
Please hand your completed form in to Reception or email it to [email protected]

All requests are subject to approval by the GP.
