If you wish to access your medical records held at the Surgery then we suggest, in the first instance, that you discuss your wish with your usual doctor - they may be able to tell you the information you wish to know without you having to request a copy of your notes.
If you do not wish to discuss your request with your doctors then please contact Mrs K Edwards (Practice Manager) who will help you further.
We comply fully with the Access to Medical Records legislation. If you require a copy of your notes there will be a charge to cover the photocopying and printing costs, in keeping with the legislation.
If your enquiry is with regard to your hospital records you will need to discuss this further with the Access to Medical Records officer at the hospital who will help you further.
