Medical records and other paperwork

It will usually take up to 3 weeks for us to process your paperwork request – our secretary will be able to advise you. This is because we need to carefully balance the amount of time our GPs can take to do private work, with providing core NHS services. At times of high demand for NHS services, private work may take longer. Please be aware that we’ll usually only be able to expedite your request and process it in a shorter timeframe in exceptional circumstances – for example, if you need paperwork urgently to secure housing, or a job.

There’s a fee for most paperwork. This is because GPs aren’t contracted or funded to do this work by the NHS, so it’s usually private work. If there is a fee, our medical secretary will call you to let you know how much it is, before we start processing your request.

Please fill in the online form below to request medical records and other paperwork, if you’re able to. This helps us to manage paperwork requests efficiently.

If you can’t fill in the online form then please bring or send us a hard copy letter with your name, date of birth, address, details of your request and your signature. This is to make sure we only release your confidential medical information to you. This can also be emailed to us.

What type of paperwork do you need?

Medical summary – a medical summary is often sufficient for most purposes and is free of charge. A medical summary lists any major health problems and diagnoses, details of your last six consultations with us, repeat medications, acute medications issued in the last three months, allergies and basic details such as height, weight and smoking history.

Full medical records – our medical secretary will call you, to discuss your request. First sets of medical records are free of charge, subsequent sets cost £50. If a third party requests your medical records they typically pay the fee.
