Proxy Access

If you are managing the health of another person 'proxy access' can provide online access to:

view appointments
order medication
access medical records

For the other person, on their behalf.

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. You may also be requested to provide proof of parental responsibility if this is not already held by the practice.

Children aged 0-10

Please complete Section A (your details) and Section C (your children's details) of the online registration form and return to Surgery.

Children aged 11-15

In line with the Royal College of General Practitioners Guidance (page 4) Sidcup Medical Centre does not provide proxy access to patients aged 11-15.
Please discuss with the practice if you believe there are exceptional circumstances that would require you to retain proxy access after your child’s 11th birthday.

Proxy access on behalf of another adult

A person must be registered for online access at the practice where the patient they are acting for is registered. Proxy is the recommended alternative to sharing login details.

Adults aged 16 years and older

Adults aged 16 years and older can donate proxy access to one or more relatives, carers, or other representatives (18 years and older) to act on their behalf.
Please complete Section A (your details) and Section B (your representative, to have proxy access) of the online registration form and return to Surgery.
