Proxy Access
Parents/guardians can have Proxy Access to their children’s/dependants’ records (via System Online) as long as proof of parental responsibility is obtained/previously recorded, and the child/dependant is under 13/14
They are only allowed the following access: Appointments, requesting medication, questionnaires, and summary care record.
At the age of 13/14, the parent/guardian will automatically have their access taken away. At this point we need written consent from the patient that they are happy for the parent/guardian to have continued access. If they are, we can set this back up; if not, then the patient needs to use their own email address to set up their own access.
At the age of 16, the parent/guardian will have their access taken off again and this is not allowed to be reinstated. If the patient wants their parent/guardian to deal with their online system, they need to share their own username and password with them; they are no longer allowed Proxy Access.
No other relationships are allowed Proxy access; this includes spouses, children to parents, siblings etc. If the patient is over 16, they need to set up their own account and share their credentials.
The only exception is if the patient lacks capacity or the person/s requesting access have LPOA.
