The updated GP contract requires all practices to provide their patients with online access to new (prospective) health information in their GP records (unless exceptions apply) by 31 October 2023. 

Once you have completed the GP readiness checklist, you will be able to have your clinical IT systems updated to automatically allow your patients access to their new records. 

EMIS practices should complete an opt-in form and select a date. We recommend booking early as slots are limited. 

TPP practices can now update their own systems easily and conveniently by following instructions in this user guide (FutureNHS login required).
