Viewing your Medical Record Online

Surgeries that choose to offer this service to patients will use Patient' Online Electronic Health Records Access system, to give medical record access from any internet-enabled PC with a web browser. Speak to your own surgery to see if they are going to sign up for the service.

The project - a first in the UK - allows patients to view their records using 'authenticated access', which is strictly controlled by individual passwords and PINs.

Patients can view a summary of their GP's most recent entries, details of consultations, diagnoses, investigations and procedures, results, vaccinations, medication and letters. Practices also benefit, as patients can view letters, results and immunisations without the need to contact a doctor or a receptionist.

For more information on patient access to medical records, visit Records Access Collaborative website.
