View Your GP Health Record
Keeping on top of your medical history can sometimes feel like trying to chase a shadow. Having ready access to your GP health record is one of the most powerful steps you can take towards understanding and managing your own health. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through why viewing your GP record matters, how to get started, and what to expect once you’re logged in.
Why View Your GP Health Record?
Stay Informed. Your health record holds details of diagnoses, test results, immunisations, allergies, medications and more. By checking it regularly, you can spot errors or forgotten entries, ask your GP about anything unclear, and feel confident about the care you receive.
Boost Your Confidence. If you have a chronic condition, knowing exactly when your last blood test was, or verifying your prescription list, helps you participate proactively in consultations.
Prepare for Referrals. Whether you’re seeing a specialist or consulting a pharmacist, having your latest health summary in front of you reduces back-and-forth and ensures accurate, efficient care.
Help Carers & Family. With proxy access (available for parents, carers and legal guardians), you can manage someone else’s care too—ideal when you’re looking after children or older relatives.
How to Get Access
Accessing your GP record is quick and secure. The two main routes are:
The NHS App
Download: Available free on iOS and Android, as well as via online access.
Register: Use your NHS number (usually found on appointment letters or prescriptions), plus photo ID and a short verification process.
Sign In: Once set up, tap “Health Records” and select “GP health record” to view the latest entries.
NHS Login via Website
Visit: Go to the official NHS website and click “NHS Login.”
Create an Account: Similar ID checks apply.
Navigate: After logging in, choose “View your health record” then “GP record.”
Tip: If you can’t find your NHS number, your GP practice can provide it. Reach out by phone or email for a quick reminder.
What You’ll Find in Your GP Record
Allergies & Adverse Reactions: Any known sensitivities to medications or substances.
Medications: A list of current and repeat prescriptions, with dosage instructions and history.
Immunisations: Childhood vaccines, flu shots, and any travel jabs you’ve had recorded.
Test Results: Blood tests, X-rays, scans and their outcomes, along with dates.
Diagnoses: Ongoing and past conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, mental health notes).
Referrals & Letters: Correspondence to specialists or hospital clinics.
Unstructured Notes: Free-text entries from GP consultations—useful for context but may include medical jargon.
Benefits of Regularly Reviewing Your Record
Error Detection. Spot inaccuracies—like a medication you no longer take—and request corrections.
Medication Management. Ensure you’re only ordering repeats for what you currently need.
Better Consultations. Arrive prepared, with dates and details fresh in your mind.
Continuity of Care. If you move or change GPs, having a digital copy makes the handover seamless.
Personal Insight. Monitor trends—your blood pressure readings over time, or how your cholesterol levels have shifted.
