Can I access my medical records through NHS Direct?

Asked a year ago
No, you cannot access your medical records through NHS Direct. NHS Direct is an online and telephone helpline service that provides general health advice and information. It is not connected to the NHS patient records system. If you need to access your medical records, you should contact your general practitioner (GP) or the healthcare provider who holds your records directly. They will be able to guide you on the process and requirements for accessing your medical records. It is important to ensure the appropriate channels are followed to protect your privacy and maintain the confidentiality of your personal health information.
