How do I request medical records?

Information for your own records, or the record of a dependant/family member, can be requested from the Clinical Records service.

Please note: If the request is for the clinical record of a family member who is not a dependant (16 years or under) then that person's consent is required in writing.

The request must be in writing and include the completed Release of Information form [PDF, 573 KB] OR the following information:

• Patient first name and surname
• Patient Date of Birth
• Patient NHI number (if known)
• Specific details of the information you require including dates of hospital admissions
• Your name (if not the patient)
• Your contact number, mailing address and email
• Proof of identity (drivers licence or passport).

Email or mail the request to the Release of Information Team:
