Confidentiality - Protection and Use of your Information

We ask for information about you so that you can receive the best possible care and treatment. We keep this informaton, together with details of your care, to ensure that your doctors or nurses have 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 informaton about you to other people such as hospitals, Social Services or the Primary Care Trust. 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 one of our Practice Managers.
