Children registering for online services
Under 16 years old (proxy access)
If you are a parent or guardian of an under 16 year old and would like access to appointments and ordering medication ONLY, this can be done through your own online account (You will need to be set up for online services yourself).
Please complete form on behalf of patient and provide a copy of the patient’s BIRTH CERTIFICATE (giving evidence of relationship e.g parent. If birth certificate does not show this, then we can accept other relevant paperwork which indicates you are parent/’guardian
As a practice we do not allow parent/guardians to have to have access to full medical records online, you will have access to appointments and prescriptions ONLY. We understand the benefits of online proxy access for most children and families; however, we need to protect the small number of children and young people who could be at serious risk of harm if medical information is inadvertently disclosed.
If you are a parent/guardian and you require access to medical records, then you can request a subject access request (SAR). Please email d-icb.honitonsurgery-patientservices@nhs.net with your request. If you are requesting access to a child’s record, it is essential we establish and obtain evidence you have parental responsibility and right of access to the child’s record.
On reaching the age of 16, proxy access ceases and rules governing access for adult patients apply.
Please speak with our registration team if you wish to sign up for proxy access for someone over 16 years.
