Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access.

To request proxy access:

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
