Accessing someone else’s information
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 at the same GP surgery, you can manage health services for others in the NHS App or by logging in to the NHS website.
If you are registered at different GP surgeries, the surgery setting up access will give you login information for an app or website you can use.
To requests proxy access:
- collect a proxy access form from reception during our opening hours.
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.
