Privacy Policy

The practice keeps medical records confidential and complies with the General Data Protection Regulation. We hold your medical record so that we can provide you with safe care and treatment. We will also use your information so that this practice can check and review the quality of the care we provide. This helps us to improve our services to you.

We will share relevant information from your medical record with other health or social care staff or organisations when they provide you with care. For example, we will share information when you are referred to a specialist in a hospital or we will send details about your prescription to your chosen pharmacy.

For more information on how we share your information with organisations who are directly involved in your care can be found on the Department of Health website

Healthcare staff working in A&E and out of hours care will also have access to your information. For example, it is important that staff who are treating you in an emergency know if you have any allergic reactions. This will involve the use of your Summary Care Record.

For more information see our Summary Care Records page or alternatively, speak to a member of staff at the practice.
