Following the know your heart rate like you pin code I have done a couple of things.

1. I have registered at my surgery for online access. I can now see my full NHS record online including any test results such as my last glucose and cholesterol tests.
2. I have ordered blood pressure monitor for use at home. They only cost £20 and with high blood pressure being diagnosed in family members is worthwhile doing.
3. I already monitor my resting heart rate in the morning

No symptoms of anything at the moment but means I can keep an eye on things and if they change significantly make an appointment.

Can you see all your patient notes going back to the beginning? When is that? Digitisation?

I can see the immunisations I had before starting school in 1977
Actual record goes back to my back problem in
1992
It’s not very detailed by the way

I can see my notes from 2014, have not looked further as those were the ones I wanted to see. You can only select detailed notes / test results from a 60 day period at a time. So you have to know what period you are interested in.

In my account settings I had to request access to my detailed patient notes and that was granted by my GP surgery within the hour.

I can see an HbA1c result from 2006...incidentally on my birthday!

Now possible to view your entire medical history online. In a similar way to your GP's records.

Only goes as far back as 1993, so when I joined that practice. No records before then.

How do you do this, as mine only shows GP records nothing from before the 90's? Can you post a link to where the addtional NHS service is?

I joined my practice in 2000, can see a couple of more significant surgical things from before then (plus the pre school immunisations). Guess whoever has inputted the data didn’t bother with minor lurgies or whatever
