If you wish to apply for Proxy Access to another person’s medical records, please complete a Access to Medical Records form:
Please note this may take up to 28 days to process and you will be notified by text when your request has been actioned.
Please note that Parents may only be given access to a child’s medical records if they have Parental Responsibility i.e.
- A mother automatically has parental responsibility for her child from birth
- A father usually has parental responsibility if he’s either:
- Married to the child’s mother
- Listed on the birth certificate (after a certain date, depending on which part of the UK the child was born in)
You can apply for parental responsibility if you do not automatically have it.
For more information on parental responsibility please see Gov.UK: Parental rights and responsibilities.
