If you are managing the health of another, you can apply for proxy access to that person's online account. This provides access to the person's online account for:
- book and view appointments
- order medication
- access to medical records
Proxy access on behalf of children
People with parental responsibility for children have rights to access their children’s records. This is in most cases. Not all parents have parental responsibility. Proxy access for parent and guardian to a child’s record is a practice-level decision.
Proxy access on behalf of another adult
A person must request an account for online access at the practice where the person they are acting for is a patient. Proxy is the recommended alternative to sharing login details.
