Personal information is requested so that you can receive appropriate care and treatment. This information is recorded on the surgery computer system and we are registered under the Data Protection Act. The practice ensures that patient confidentiality is maintained at all times by all members of the practice team and if necessary, to help you when you are ill, it is sometimes necessary that medical information about you is shared between members of the team. Prescriptions and some of the consultation records are run purely on computer. This enables us to analyse various aspects of health care and to undertake Audit to ensure that standards are care are being maintained.
For more information on Patient Confidentiality & How we use your information please see the separate page on our website.
You have a right to see your records if you wish and the simplest way to do this is to sign up for online patient access - please see the page in the How Do I Section or ask at reception.
