Health records and subject access requests (SARs)

Access your health records

How we collect, use, retain and share personal information > is described in the Trust's Privacy Notice.

The NHS app (NHS.UK) > gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services including being able to view your GP health record. If your GP has given you access to your detailed medical record, you can also see information like test results.

UHDB provides patients with two options to access their data.

Patients Know Best (PKB)

PKB allows for real-time access to certain information and provides patients with the ability to view clinical correspondence, appointment information, and appropriate test results >. It also offers the ability to complete questionnaires digitally, and connect with health professionals and carers together in one place, enabling patients to take control of their own health.

Subject Access Requests (SAR's)

Alternatively, you can access your information via a subject access request > which is a legal right provided to you under the Data Protection Act 2018.

 

Power of Attorney (LPA)
