Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To request proxy access:

  • collect a proxy access form from reception during opening times

Please note that we are currently unable to support proxy access for 11 to 15 year olds using myGP, but we can support it with the NHS App or Patient Access.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
