Open Require immediate access to full medical records and test results for patients

Created by Slawomir Jan Pietrak
Closes on

We want the UK Government to require all NHS and private healthcare providers to give patients immediate, unrestricted access to their complete medical records and test results as soon as they are available.

We believe some patients may be unaware of potentially life-threatening findings from their tests due to unnecessary delays or requirement to formally request their records. This could lead to significant delays in diagnosis and treatment, directly affecting patient outcomes and survival rates. We think earlier awareness enables patients to seek second opinions, make informed decisions, and begin treatment sooner.
