If you are managing the health of another, you can apply for proxy access. This provides access to the person's online account for:
- book and view appointments
- order medication
- access to medical records
You can download the proxy access consent form here (DOCX, 38KB). Once completed return the form to the surgery. You can also contact the surgery to request proxy access.
Proxy access on behalf of children
People with parental responsibility for children have rights to access their children’s records. This is in most cases. Not all parents have parental responsibility. Proxy access for parent and guardian to a child’s record is a practice-level decision.
Proxy access on behalf of another adult
Proxy is the recommended alternative to sharing login details.
