Health Records/Confidentiality and Privacy Notices
We ask you for information to ensure that you can receive proper care and treatment.
The main reasons for which your information may be needed/kept include:
- giving healthcare and treatment
- looking after the health of the general public
- managing and planning the NHS
- reviewing care to ensure the highest standard
- training and research
Everyone working for the NHS has a legal obligation to keep information about you confidential and legislation controls the sharing of information.
You have the right to access your records – the Practice Manager can advise you of this procedure.
Patients are able to view and/or have copies of their medical record. Please apply in writing to the Practice Manager or ask at reception. The surgery has 1 calendar month to provide the copy. Once completed you will be sent a text message or phone call to inform you your record is ready to collect.
You will need to bring photographic ID with you to collect the information.
