My personal information, such as home address or email, is incorrect. What should I do?

As a patient you can update some parts of your health record, such as personal information (e.g. home address and email). If other parts of your record are incorrect, please advise your clinical team and ask them to amend the details.

Can I still be contacted by phone and letter?

Yes, you can still be contacted by phone. However, if you choose to have a MyCare UCLH patient portal account, any correspondence will default to paperless.

When can I see my test results in My Care UCLH?

When it comes to test results, there are two types: the ones that are delivered automatically to MyCare after a set time and the ones that are delivered to MyCare after they have been seen by your clinician. Find out more here: Your test results.

Can I send messages or attachments to the team looking after my care?

Yes, you can view and send messages to your care teams through MyCare UCLH, but do not use it for urgent or emergency medical advice. Please use NHS 111 online or contact 111 for urgent medical advice, or call 999 for medical emergencies.  

See our guide on how to view and send messages with MyCare UCLH.

If I send a message to a team via MyCare UCLH, when can I expect a reply?

This is managed within each department and therefore the response times may vary. Please only message your clinical team if you have a non-urgent medical question or issues regarding your appointment. Please note, for urgent medical advice please call 111 and in an emergency please call 999.

Can I use my patient portal account to ask questions regarding the health matters of a family member?

No. Your patient portal account is linked to your health records and designed for that use. However, please see the section below on ‘Proxy Access’.

You can join most video clinics through MyCare UCLH and a free video call platform called Microsoft Teams. For details, see "Microsoft Teams video clinics".
