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
To enable proxy access for a patient 12 years or older, we will need to speak to the child directly to ensure they understand what access to the their records may entail.
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.
