I read a post about this somewhere but now I can't find it.
My surgery has Patient Access, but I've only ever used it to order repeat prescriptions - used to be able to make appointments but they stopped that.
Following the advice in the thread I wrote a note to the practice manager asking if I could have access to my test results. Someone phoned me within 2 hours and said she had enabled access, but she wasn't sure if it would apply to past results or just future ones. I went on line and had a look, it's all there back to around 2000 (but believe me there isn't much as I only go the Dr as a last resort!) In 17 years I've never had a fasting blood test until now.
The thing I liked most was the weight chart. It turns out that I only need to lose 2kg to weigh the same as I did 17 years ago (OK it did go up a lot around 2009, but I have lost a lot!)
So thanks to whoever posted the original thread.
