Data Protection Act

We need to hold personal information about you on our computer system and in paper records to help us to look after your health needs.

Please help to keep your record up to date by informing us of any changes to your circumstances.

Staff in the clinic have access to your medical records to enable them to do their jobs. Your doctor is responsible for their accuracy and safe-keeping.

Sharing of Information

From time to time, it may be necessary to share information with others involved in your care. Anyone with access to your record is properly trained in confidentiality issues and is governed by both a legal and contractual duty to keep your details private.

All information about you is held securely and appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent accidental loss.

 

Identifiable information about you will be shared with others in the following circumstances:

• To provide further medical treatment for you e.g. to your GP.
• To help you access other services e.g. FORTH, our affiliate partner, to manage blood tests and results. This requires your consent.
• When we have a duty to others e.g. in child protection cases

 

In some circumstances we may be required by law to release your details to statutory or other official bodies, for example if a court order is presented, or in the case of public health issues.

To ensure your privacy, we will not disclose information over the telephone or unless we are sure that we are talking to you.

Information will not be disclosed to family, friends, or spouses unless we have prior written consent, and we do not leave messages with others.

You have a right to see your records if you wish. Please ask if you would like further details. In some circumstances a fee may be payable.
