Confidentiality

Freedom of Information

We ask for information about you so that you can receive the best possible care and treatment. We keep this information, together
with details of your care, to ensure that your doctor or nurse has
accurate and up to date information. It also may be needed if we
see you again.

There are times when we have to pass on information about you
to other people such as hospitals, Social Services or the Health
Authority. This is always done confidentially or by removing
your identifying details when they are not essential.

Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to maintain the
highest level of confidentiality about patient information.
If at any time you would like to know more about how we use
your information you can speak to our Business Manager or our
Practice Administrator.
