How can I view my child’s medical record?

Gaining access to another person’s medical record through the NHS App is called ‘Proxy Access’.

You can ask us to set up Proxy Access by sending us a message.

Adults who have parental responsibility for a child can ask to have access to their child’s record if the child is aged under 13 years old. We may need to see evidence of parental responsibility. This access will stop on the child’s 13th birthday.

For children aged 13 to 15, a Clinician will need to discuss this request with both you and your child.

For those aged 16 and over, Proxy Access will require the consent of the person whose record you are wishing to access. A Clinician may need to discuss this request with you both.
