You may have a GP negligence claim if the GP makes errors in keeping your medical records. The errors in record keeping, such as not entering blood test results, could delay treatment or cause a misdiagnosis of your condition. Any GP negligence could make your condition worse and could put your life at risk.
You have a legal right to access the personal information held about you by health and care organisations. You can already obtain this information at any time you choose by making a Subject Access Request (SAR), however, it takes up to one calendar month for your GP practice to provide the information.
If you make a mistake in a record, the correct method to amend it is to put a single line through the record, add your initials, and then write the correct information nearby. Never use correction fluid, scribble it out, or leave the error as is without correcting it.
If you or the person whose records you are requesting on behalf of are unregistered, PCSE will process the access application within 28 days. In certain circumstances, this may not be possible (for example, where the record cannot be traced, or is held by a third party storage provider outside of the control of PCSE.)
