Data Protection

Your medical records are processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. We cannot divulge information regarding you to anyone else unless we have your permission to do so or are required to by law.

We are required to give information to the local health authority, verifying the service provision to certain patients, in order that the Practice may receive the appropriate payment. This information is processed in accordance with your rights as defined under the Act.

Sometimes we may participate in studies that are designed to improve the way services are provided to you or to check that our performance meets required standards and benchmarks. Whenever we take part in activities such as these we will ensure that as far as possible any details that may identify you are not disclosed.

We are sometimes involved in health research and the teaching of student nurses, doctors and other health professionals. We will not use or disclose your personal health information for these purposes unless you have been informed beforehand and given your consent for us to do so.

If you have any queries or concerns on how we use your personal health information, or would like to access your information, please contact the Practice Manager.
