Accessing Someone Else’s Information

 

< Back to policies & procedures

Our policy

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 or complete our secure online form

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.
