I have had access to my full GP record for several years. Any tests carried out by the hospital are not reported in my GP record. Any bloods drawn by the GP nurse/HCA are reported.GPs are paid for doing the checks and reviews. You are entitled to access to your health records though. That should include GP and hospital records of test results and consultations.

GP claims they don't see them.Why are your hospital results not on the record too @AndBreathe? Both myself and husbands have been on for sometime now.
I can’t get my surgery to put any of my history on there. Medications and tests results is all it is. No coded record, consultations, letters, diagnosis, past events. Nothing.GP claims they don't see them.
We have recently changed GP, but our full records haven't arrived yet, so I can currently only see my summary coded record, which really doesn't help me with anything, although I'm sure it could be useful to medics in an emergency.
As an example of infantilising, when I was trying to discuss obtaining a Libre 2 with my GP and quoting the NICE guidelines, his response was "Oh you don't want to worry about that, it's not relevant to you and you probably won't understand any of it!"Are you in the uk? sign up to the nhs app where they post the results of any tests you have done.
It’s by no means a replacement for medical professionals that want to infantilise you by not involving you in the care of your own body but it’s a start. The good ones actively encourage a patient to ask questions and learn about their care. They should all be telling you how you’re doing in at least simple terms and what you can do to help yourself.
Did you actually ask and get shot down? Or is that your expectation?
Any option to change provider?
Good god there isn’t an appropriate response I can click on for that one! What a disgraceful comment. I would probably have run my mouth off and got myself struck off .As an example of infantilising, when I was trying to discuss obtaining a Libre 2 with my GP and quoting the NICE guidelines, his response was "Oh you don't want to worry about that, it's not relevant to you and you probably won't understand any of it!"
I was flabbergasted and took professional advice who suggested I raise a complaint with the practice manager. In the end, I chickened out and didn't do anything! I wish I had; he deserved to be castigated.
My GP could mansplain with the best of them. He once said in a very patronising voice that he had been to university to “learn all this stuff.”As an example of infantilising, when I was trying to discuss obtaining a Libre 2 with my GP and quoting the NICE guidelines, his response was "Oh you don't want to worry about that, it's not relevant to you and you probably won't understand any of it!"
