Whom do I notify of my contact details?

If you need to update details such as Home Address, GP Details or contact telephone number, we would ask for this notification in writing and sent directly to The Patient Services Team, or to our direct email: accesstohealthrecords@ldh.nhs.uk

We ask for confirmation of full name and hospital number or NHS number – and a description of the details that are to be amended. If you do not have these details then we will need your current/old address and your date of birth.

If you are due to come into the hospital for an appointment, you can also ask for this to be amended when booking it at the reception desk.
