Access To Medical Records
Patients can request access to their medical records but the records may not be removed from the practice premises. A charge will be made for access to records, for copies and for computer printouts. There are times when notes need to be audited in order to ensure that the quality of care patients receive is monitored and improved, if you have any objection to this please write to the practice manager. District nurses and health visitors have access to medical records of the patients in their care.
