Is it possible to get your NHS records from the UK?

don't know how to go about this. Is it possible to obtain a copy of part of your own history from the NHS ? I need some past history to show a doctor here.

My Mood:
The NHS must keep patients' personal details confidential but people normally have a right to see their own health records. Depending on who made the records, patients can obtain access through the relevant Trust, Health Authority, family doctor or dentist. Access must be given within the timetable in the Access to Health Records Act 1990 (or, for records held on computer, the Data Protection Act 1984). Under these Acts, patients may be charged for access to their records.

There should be application to access your records held in every NHS facility, there are also help lines to advise and guide you through this procedure.
hope this helps.

certain information may also be censored for various reasons.

My Doctor advised me that my records actually belong to the NHS not me however she gave me a summary of my records. She did this there and then by printing them off from the computer. Took her 2 minutes.
