Requesting access to your online medical records
The NHS want to give people greater access to see their personal health information online. Currently the process to access your medical record online is to complete an application at reception if you are a new user. If you already have access to System online to order medication you can request this further access electronically via your account by following this link – SystmOnline Login (tpp-uk.com). If you require further information on this, please contact our reception team. Please note at present we cannot provide online access to your full medical record, only detailed coded record which allows a patient to see test results, diagnosis, and vaccination history.
Your doctor (GP) may talk to you to discuss information before you are able to see some of your record, to make sure that having access is of benefit to you. There might be some sensitive information on your record, so you should talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Plans to extend the level of access available to patients is currently under review by NHS England and we expect a further update on this in January 2023.
Your Data Matters to the NHS
Your health records contain a type of data called confidential patient information. This data can be used to help with research and planning.
You can choose to stop your confidential patient information being used for research and planning. You can also make a choice for someone else like your children under the age of 13.
Your choice will only apply to the health and care system in England. This does not apply to health or care services accessed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
