Yes, you should be automatically copied in on the GP letter but it’s worth mentioning it, in order to make sure you get your copy. Normally it takes around 2 weeks.

Thankyou x

Hi. I hope all goes well. We asked for copies of letters to my partner's GP and they were happy to oblige. It gave us a much better overview and made sure we didn't miss things. Even now, post transplant, we still get copies.Best wishes, K

I always ask for a copy of everything, but now have requested access to my GP records which show all results, consultations etc. Not everyone would want this, but I feel a bit more in control!!
