Proxy Access

If you are managing the health of another, you can apply for proxy access. This provides access to the person's online account for:

  • book and view appointments
  • ordering medication
  • access to medical records

You can collect a Proxy Access Form from reception or download and print one from this link:
Proxy Access Form (PDF) and return the form to the practice.

Proxy access on behalf of children

People with parental responsibility for children have rights to access their children’s records. This is in most cases. Not all parents have parental responsibility. Proxy access for parent and guardian to a child’s record is a practice-level decision.

Proxy access on behalf of another adult

A person must be registered for online access at the practice where the patient they are acting for is registered. Proxy is the recommended alternative to sharing login details.
