How do you go about it? Is there a standard procedure, or do you just ask the doctor?

Ask in writing to see your medical records. Then is what should happen is an apt will be made for you to view them and then you can ask for copies of the bits you want or the whole lot. There is a charge for this though so be warned.
 
If you mean GP notes, then ask practice manager, in writing, stating dates required. And, as others have said, be prepared to pay for access and photocopying costs.

Any problems, ask PALS for PCT or hospital.
