Confidentiality and Access to Records

All patient-identifiable information will be kept in the strictest confidence and will not be given to unauthorised third parties.

All medical and administrative records are held on computer in accordance with the rules of the Data Protection Act. We hold no more information than is needed for medical care and this information is only used for that purpose.

Confidential medical information may be shared with authorised practice staff and other health agencies where this is necessary for your treatment or care. If we refer you for further care we may share some or all of this information. You are entitled to request to see copies of any letters we send out.

Patients have right of access to view their medical record. This should be requested in writing and there may be an administration fee for this service.
