Access records when turning 16 years old

Are you turning 16 years old? Happy 16th Birthday!

What happens to my data?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs how we handle your confidential information held as part of your GP medical record. Up until the age of 16 in most cases, we can speak to your parent or carer on your behalf. Once you turn 16 the rules around this change and we can no longer speak to your parent or carer without your explicit consent.

Mobile telephone numbers and email addresses

Any mobile telephone numbers and email addresses currently held on your record will be removed. You should receive your own electronic communications (such as text reminders) going forward.

To give us your own mobile telephone number and email address, please send us an email (from your own email address) with your full name, date of birth and updated contact details.

Our email address is sxicb-wsx.patientenquiries-glebesurgery@nhs.net

Online access

If someone else has online access to your medical record, this will now be removed. The easiest way to access your medical record online, is to download the NHS APP and follow the instructions to sign up. You can use the NHS APP to view your medical record, book appointments and order repeat medications.

Proxy Access

If you think you might require Proxy access for another person to help manage your health record on your behalf.
