Proxy Access

At the Spinney Surgery, patients can grant access for another person to access their medical record. There are a number of reasons why someone might allow another person to view their records such as helping them manage long-term conditions such as asthma or diabetes or needing help to understand their treatment and care.

For more information about proxy access and how to register, please visit here.


Access to your Records

Please ensure you read the below information so you understand the risks and responsibilities when accessing your medical records:

It’s up to you whether or not you share your information with others e.g. family members or carers. It’s your choice, but also your responsibility to keep the information safe and secure.

No one should force you to share your GP records. You have the right to say no. If this happens, tell your surgery as soon as you can.

Letters and results are filed straight to your record once they are reviewed by a clinician. You may access this information before the clinician has had a chance to discuss this with you.

Your records are written to help medical staff look after you and so in some cases, you may not understand everything you see and you may see medical abbreviations that you are not familiar with. You can find out what they mean by visiting the NHS website here.

There may be information in your GP records that you didn’t know was there or that you had forgotten about, such as an illness or an upsetting incident. If you see anything you did not know about that worries you, please speak to your surgery and they will discuss this with you.

When you download any documents or attachments from your record, you become responsible for keeping it confidential.

If you spot something in the record that is not about you or notice any other errors, please log out of the system immediately and contact the practice as soon as possible.

You can still contact the practice by phone or in person, this is just another option, which other patients have found is more convenient and saves them time. More information including “how to” leaflets and videos of patients and why they are using GP online services are available at www.nhs.uk/gponlineservices
