Your Data Matters to the NHS
Your health records contain a type of data called confidential patient information. This data can be used to help with research and planning.
You can choose to stop your confidential patient information being used for research and planning. You can also make a choice for someone else like your children under the age of 13.
Your choice will only apply to the health and care system in England. This does not apply to health or care services accessed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Full Prospective Record Access
From 30th November 2022, NHS England announced that patients across the United Kingdom will be permitted to request full prospective online access to their medical records from their General Practice (GP).
Patients must put their request in writing. This can be done by sending an email, at: [email protected] or by sending a letter addressed to the surgery, at: Eastgate House, 28-34 Church Street, Dunstable, LU5 4RU.
The Management Team at Eastgate Surgery will review each request for full prospective access, and the patient will be notified of the outcome.
