Personal Health Information |
How the Practice uses Personal Health 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 Practice
Manager.
