Subject access request

If you require a copy of part or all of your medical records, we require this request in writing. We ask that you provide us with as much information as possible with regards what parts of your records you require, to help us provide you with the information you need correctly and as efficiently as possibly. For example, please specify if you require all of your records or just a certain time period.

For certain requests you may only require a summary of your medical history (e.g. dates of diagnosis and medication history) rather than every consultation and hospital letter. If you make us aware of this at the time of your request this will allow us to process your request more efficiently.

On collection of your medical records, you will need to bring photo ID to confirm identity.

Please note these requests can take up to 28days.
