Such a request must be about facts, for example if the doctor wrote down that they operated on your right hand when it was your left hand, a date is wrong, or you are no long taking certain medication.<\/p>\n<p>In principal, professional opinions in your records cannot be modified. For example, a patient\u2019s symptoms, a clinical hypothesis, an assessment, or medical diagnosis. You can, however, get a second opinion for another professional which would be recorded in the file. You can also add notes to your records about things you find inappropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Requests should be addressed in writing to the person responsible for access to documents (commonly referred to as \u201carchives\u201d) at the facility holding your records.
