Why we’ve partnered with ORB
We’ve teamed up with ORB - a secure, clinician-led UK service - to make reading and downloading your GP records easier than ever. Here’s what that means for you:
Full visibility, whenever you need it. View all your consultation notes, test results, prescriptions, hospital letters, diagnoses, allergies, and immunisations in one place, from any device. No more juggling different sources or waiting for paper copies.
Empowerment and peace of mind. Because your health record is personal, you decide who sees it and when. Linking your record is entirely consent-based, and you can stop sharing or adjust access at any time. You remain in control.
Built on trust and safety. ORB is NHS-assured and designed to meet the highest standards of data protection. Your privacy and security are at the core, so you can be confident in how your information is handled.
What you can see
Retour au sommaireOnce you’re signed in, you’ll be able to view your GP record which includes:
Consultation notes (when available).
Diagnoses and medical conditions.
Medications (current and past).
Allergies and adverse reactions.
Test results and hospital letters.
Vaccination/immunisation history.
Availability of some items depends on your GP practice and what they’ve chosen to make visible in your online record.

What’s in it for you
Retour au sommaireAccessing your GP record brings concrete benefits that go far beyond curiosity:
You have the full picture. When you have all your health data in one trusted place, you’re better equipped to see patterns over time - see what’s improved, what needs more attention, and prompt better conversations with your healthcare team.
You save time. No waiting for appointment summaries, prescriptions, or test results to arrive by post. No chasing up loose notes. Everything you need is accessible when you need it.
Better care, more coordination. Whether you're consulting with your GP, specialist, private therapist, or a new clinician, having shared, consistent information reduces duplication, helps avoid mistakes, and supports quicker, more tailored treatment.
You feel more in control. Knowing what’s in your records helps you prepare for appointments, make decisions, track your health goals, and keep your records accurate (you can spot and correct mistakes).

Erreur médicale
La plupart des gens reçoivent de bons soins de la part des professionnels de santé. Parfois, les gens reçoivent de mauvais soins. Si cela se produit, ils peuvent souhaiter déposer une plainte. Si des soins de qualité inférieure ont entraîné un préjudice évitable, ils peuvent également souhaiter demander une indemnisation pour négligence médicale.

Questions fréquemment posées
Can I use ORB to access my GP records even if my GP practice hasn't specifically enabled it?
Yes, once you sign in with your NHS login and give consent, your NHS GP information will be available to you through ORB. The article states that the availability of some items within your record depends on what your GP practice has chosen to make visible in your online record, but ORB itself provides the platform to view what is available.
Is ORB only for accessing GP records, or can I see other types of health information?
ORB primarily focuses on your GP record, which includes consultation notes, diagnoses, medications, allergies, test results, hospital letters, and immunisation history. While it brings together various aspects of your health data, the core information available is from your GP record.
What if I notice an error in my medical record after viewing it through ORB?
The article states that seeing what's in your records helps you keep them accurate, and that you can spot and correct mistakes. This implies you would need to contact your GP practice to rectify any inaccuracies you find.
How quickly will my GP records be available after I link them with ORB?
The process to link your record is described as taking only a few minutes. Once connected, your NHS GP information "will be available to you in ORB," suggesting near-instant access after the initial setup.
Does ORB replace the NHS App for viewing my medical records?
The article describes ORB as a partner service that makes reading and downloading your GP records easier. While it allows you to view your records, it operates alongside your right to access your full record, which may also be available through the NHS App as implied by a heading in the article. It offers an additional way to view and manage your records.
