Proxy Access on Behalf of Someone Else
If you are managing the health of another person, you can apply for proxy access. This provides access to the person’s online account to:
- View and cancel appointments
- Order medication
- Access to medical records
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. Please contact reception staff for details of this.
Proxy Access on Behalf of Another Adult
A person must be registered for online access at the practice where the patient they are acting for is also registered.
To request Proxy Access, please speak to reception.
