That's unusual that your GP doesn't know.

 

It was just a summary of medications, allergies and any significant medical issues (mainly therapy referrals and antibiotics for me)

 

Maybe book an appointment with your GP and see if they can find/print some kind of summary?

 

Good luck!

 

Perhaps explain that it usually has medications, allergies and a summary of key medical events from your notes. They might call it something else.

 

Sometimes speaking to a GP or practice manager is easier. My GP gave me what I needed when the receptionist didn't

Thank you. I went to my GP yesterday. I had asked a YEAR ago for my vaccine records and still they had not printed them. So they did that, finally and while I was there I Asked about the letter, quoting 'summary' and the receptionist kept saying, 'We don't understand what it means, give us a LIST with specific things to talk about' (and the letter costs £26!) I guess I will tell them what you guys said. I emailed the London doctors and they flat out refused to give me any explanations, (On 2 more items as well) saying I can ask for them when I 'call to book the appointment' by which time it will be far too late....

These threads on the subject might be useful.

I'll also try see if I have my copy saved still and attach it here. I'll have to do that tomorrow though

Hope this helps! I've had to block out my personal information but it should be relatively self explanatory!

Go back with these printed out and tell them this is what you want. It’s a standard NHS thing and you have the right to a copy of yours by law.
