Our practices look after your data in line with data protection and medical records laws. We only share your data when…
- We need to provide you with further medical treatment – for example, sharing information between your district nurse and the hospital you’ll be treated at.
- To help you access other services – for example, to social workers (we’ll always ask your consent first).
- We have a duty to others – for example, in child protection cases we may provide anonymous patient information that could help with government planning (if you’d prefer that anonymous information about you is not used in this way, just let us know).
- For day-to-day operations – for example, our reception and administrative staff require access to your medical records so they can do their jobs. Rest assured – our entire team work to the same rules of confidentiality as our medical staff.
