Changing your name or gender at the Practice

We are very happy to assist with name, title and/or gender changes on your medical record, but please be aware of the following information.

If you wish to change your name and/or title on your medical record:
If you change your surname/last name/family name (apart from by marriage) we need to see proof of the change, e.g. passport, driving licence or enrolled deed poll before we can update your medical record.
We can change your title as long as this change remains consistent with the gender on your medical record, e.g. Miss/Ms/Mrs = female; Mr = male.
If you do not want a gender-specific title, we can change it to Mx.
Changes made at the Practice will not alter records held by the hospital, so you may wish to also notify any secondary care provider where you receive care/treatment.
If you wish to change your gender on your NHS record please be aware of the following:

The Surgery cannot change the gender that is on your existing medical record.
You can request a new medical record in your preferred gender identity; NHS will then close your current medical record and issue you with a new NHS number, and a new medical record.
