I have received a request from a patient to provide them with their medical records. Am I allowed to do this? Is there anything I need to consider?
Thank you for getting in touch. When a patient requests their medical records, this should be dealt with as a subject access request under GDPR. The patient is entitled to a copy of their medical records and this should be provided within 1 month of their request. There are some considerations before disclosing the records. Let me take you through them...
Let me also forward to you the Medical Protection factsheet on ‘Access to health records’ if you would like to provide me an email address
That’s great. Thank you
