Access by proxies

You may apply for proxy access to the medical record of a patient. We will only grant access in the following circumstances:

Register for an account as above
You have the patient's written consent
You are a parent or guardian of a child under 12 - please see note below regarding proxy access
You have Lasting Power of Attorney over the patient for Health and Welfare
You are a Court Appointed Deputy for the patient
If, in line with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, the doctor feels it is in the patient's best interests for you to have access, e.g., you are the carer for a person with learning disability

PROXY ACCESS TO CHILDREN'S RECORDS

We will automatically remove parents' and proxies' existing access to children's records when a child reaches the age of 12, in order to preserve confidentiality of the child concerned. Once removed, we will only grant access to a child's records in exceptional circumstances.

Removing online access does not affect a parent's ability to book appointments, request medication or seek advice for their under-16 children in the conventional manner

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PATIENT ACCESS?

Patient Access (the online prescription order, appointment booking and medical record viewing service) is affiliated with EMIS, our computer system supplier, and relies on an internet connection between EMIS and our computer system in the surgery.

In order to help our patients, we provide the links to these online services, however, we are not responsible for any issues you may have with EMIS or Patient Access, and we do not have any direct input into the internal workings of EMIS or Patient Access in order to fix any problems that may occur.
Having problems?

In the event of any problems, please visit the Patient Access Status page to see if the Patient Access site is working, or the help page at Patient Access for troubleshooting information.

If the service still does not appear to be working, please let us know so that we may inform the provider of the service.
