Any patient may see his or her own medical records and to do this you will need to write to or email the Practice Manager to arrange a convenient time (email to: churchstreetpractice@nhs.net). Please bring some form of photographic ID, e.g. driving license or passport with you to the meeting.
It will be necessary for a member of staff to go through the recent records with you as these are all computerised. There will be no charge for viewing the information but there will be a small charge for any photocopies requested.
If there is anything in your records that is factually incorrect, it may be possible to correct this in accordance with your rights under the Data Protection Act but any request to amend information must be made in writing. Entries expressing medical opinion which were reasonably based on the information available at that time will generally not be changed even if they subsequently prove to be incorrect, but we will add to the entry to explain the position more fully in the light of the later information received, in some cases if the request is submitted in writing.
