Accessing health services for someone else (family and carer access)

GP surgeries can give someone secure access to another person's health services, so they can help them manage their health and care.

This is sometimes called proxy access, a linked profile or third party access.

You can ask to be a trusted person (also known as a proxy), to help someone else with their prescriptions, appointments or other GP services, or choose a trusted person to help you with yours.
