A Rare Capability in Private Healthcare

We Can See Your
NHS Records.
With Your Permission.

Most private clinics start from a blank page. We don't have to. With your consent, we can access your NHS record — so your appointment begins fully informed.

Consent-based  ·  Fully auditable  ·  UK GDPR compliant

What Makes Us Different

Private Care That Knows Your History

Most private GPs operate completely separately from the NHS. No access to your records. No visibility of your past consultations, test results, or what medications have been tried before. Every appointment starts from scratch.

My Private Clinic is different. As an accredited GP practice, we have the ability to access your NHS record — the same records your NHS GP uses — with your explicit consent. That means Dr Faizal Secretary walks into your appointment already informed.

No gaps. No repeating yourself. No missed allergies. Just a consultation that can spend its time on what matters.

Your Complete Picture

What We Can See

Everything your NHS GP can see — accessed only with your consent, only for the purpose of your appointment.

Consultation History

Past appointments, clinical notes, and diagnoses from your NHS GP — the full picture of what you've been seen for.

Blood Test Results

Previous blood tests, pathology results, and investigation findings. No need to request copies or remember numbers.

Letters & Documents

Specialist referral letters, discharge summaries, outpatient letters, and reports held on your NHS record.

Allergies & Reactions

Recorded allergies, intolerances, and adverse drug reactions — a critical safety check before any prescription.

Current Medications

Your active prescriptions and dosages. Avoids duplications, missed interactions, and the need to recall every medication from memory.

Vaccination History

Immunisations recorded on your NHS record — useful for travel health, occupational health, and catching up on missed doses.

You're in Control

Access is never assumed. We follow a clear, two-minute consent process before viewing anything.

The Difference It Makes

Why This Changes Your Appointment

You Don't Have to Remember Everything

Can't recall what that specialist said three years ago, or which medication you tried that didn't agree with you? We can check. A thorough consultation shouldn't depend on a patient's memory.

Nothing Gets Missed

Allergies, current medications, previous diagnoses — all visible before any prescription is written. It's a safety net most private appointments simply don't have.

No Repeating Yourself

You've told your NHS GP your history. You shouldn't have to start over because you've chosen private care. We pick up where your NHS record left off.

Better Decisions, Faster

When the doctor already knows what's been tried, what's been ruled out, and what's ongoing, the appointment is more focused. Less time reconstructing history, more time on the problem you've come in for.

Your Data. Your Control.

Every access to your record is logged and auditable — you can request a full record of what was viewed. You can withdraw consent at any time, before or after an appointment. We only access records relevant to your consultation. All access is compliant with NHS Digital standards, the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, and UK GDPR. We will never share your data with third parties.

Common Questions

NHS Records — FAQ

Can every private GP access NHS records?
No. This is a capability most private clinics do not have. Access to NHS systems like GP Connect requires accreditation, technical integration, and regulatory approval. My Private Clinic holds the necessary accreditation as a registered GP practice.
Do I have to share my NHS records?
Absolutely not. It is entirely optional. Many patients find it helpful, but your appointment is just as thorough without it. Let us know your preference when booking.
What if my NHS record is incomplete or wrong?
NHS records aren't always up to date. If we notice something that looks outdated or inconsistent, we'll flag it with you during the appointment. If you'd like a correction made to your NHS record, we can advise you on how to request that.
Will my NHS GP be notified that you accessed my records?
Yes — all access is logged in the NHS audit trail. Your NHS GP will be able to see that access was made, by whom, and when. This is a feature of the system, not a concern: it ensures full accountability.
Can you add notes to my NHS record?
Yes, where appropriate and with your agreement. We can send a consultation summary to your NHS GP, which they can add to your record. This supports continuity of care between your private and NHS treatment.
Is there an extra charge for NHS record access?
No. It is included as part of your consultation at no additional cost. It is simply part of how we work.
