Accessing your medical details

Your medical details hold information about you and your medical history. Your medical details have your GP record, which includes information like any conditions or allergies you have and any medicine you’re taking.

They will also include records from any other NHS service you use, like the hospital, dentist or opticians, and will include letters, test results and appointment notes.
