Access to results,scans

So sad to read this happened to you Nidge nobody should have to go through the menntal strain of discovering by such a discovery . I wish you well with the fuTUre

I saw my entire record on the NHS app, some of which was wrong and insulting. Later saw my GP who apologised, without prompting. As my biopsy results were 2 weeks overdue, they took pity and checked the hospital system, saying they shouldn’t really let me see it. Thankfully it’s not the worst result, but not great.

Two weeks later, spoke to the relevant hospital department, who claimed the results weren’t yet in. Got the ‘official’ result a week later.

Trust in the NHS has gone. I find myself using ChatGPT for my care plan. Much better.

Best of luck with your journey, my advice is to use whatever works to get what you need. Don’t be afraid to use the complaints procedure, or even your MP. 

The NHS is under pressure, but you need care. Get proactive, it will make a difference.

You need to get SAR1 form. It is subjesy access request under GDPR and data protection act 2018.You can find it online. I have printed it out, filled form, copy of ID plus copy of proof of address (council tax bill?). Also it's worth mentioning that you do not wish to have anything deducted - it means they will not black out "sensitive" words.

For example in my case they blacked out all words like "depression" or "suicide" from my mental health records which made those documents useless, they literally blacked out actual diagnosis because they assumed that those words are triggers for me. Idiotic.

Send it to your hospital. I was lazy and asked chatgpt for name of department and address. I send it to hospital, my gp and awp (which are mental health part of NHS in my area). I have already got all over 500 pages from gp ans all scans on my email.
