NHS England aims to link information from all the different places where you receive care, such as hospitals, community services and us, your GP practice. This will allow them to compare the care you received in one area against the care you received in another.
The information below explains why information is collected about you, the ways in which this information may be used and who will be collecting it.
Do I Have A Choice?
Yes. You have the right to prevent confidential information about you from being shared or used for any purpose other than providing your care, except in special circumstances. If you do not want information that identifies you to be shared outside this practice, please contact reception and they will provide you with an opt-out form. This will prevent your confidential information being used other than where necessary by the law.
If you have any concerns about who has access to your medical information, or questions about sharing information with other agencies, please contact the practice.
