Proxy access to medical records

If the patient does not have capacity to consent to grant proxy access and proxy access is considered by the practice to be in the patient’s best interest, please indicate this on the form.

Please note if access is granted for children under the age of 11, this will be removed at 11 years old as per NHS guidance. Once a child reaches the age of 11 years, they are entitled to either give or withhold consent for parents/legal guardians to be able to access their online records. In some cases, it may be appropriate for parents/legal guardians to continue to access their child’s record online, in cases such as those involving learning disabilities or to order repeat medications for example.

If requesting access between the age of 11-16 years old an appointment in person will be required to be attended by the child and parent/guardian.
