Subject Access Requests (SARS Reports)

A Subject Access Request (SAR) allows individuals to request access to their personal data held by the NHS, including medical record and other relevant information.

Understanding Subject Access Requests (SARs)

A Subject Access Request (SAR) is a legal right under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) that enable individuals to request copies of their personal data from organisations, including the NHS. This right is designed to promote transparency and give individuals control over their personal information.

Please use the NHS app to access your medical records.  However, if the information is not available please complete the Subject Access Request document available BELOW and return to us. Please allow up to 28 days for your request to be processed. 

We reserve the right to charge an administration fee, including costs of materials, if the request is excessive.
