Access to Patient Information

All GPs and staff working in this practice who have a responsibility for your care have access to your clinical patient record. Patients have their rights safeguarded by the Data Protection Act and everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential.

We may use the information we hold about you for other reasons apart from managing your care e.g. to help protect the health of the public generally or for training purposes. Also the law may require us to pass on information e.g. to notify a birth or death.

You may be receiving care from other people outside of the NHS and so that we can work for your benefit we may need to share some information about you. We only use, or pass on, information about you if people have a genuine need for it and it is in everyone’s best interest. The sharing of some types of very sensitive personal information is strictly controlled by law.

You also have a right of access to your own health records. For information on how you can apply for access please ask at reception or contact our Practice Manager. You can download the form for requesting access to your health records here.
