Access To Medical Information

In order to provide the best possible standards of health care it is necessary for us to store information about patients of both an administrative and clinical nature. This information is stored on both paper and computer. If you wish to access your own NHS records held by us, please make an appointment with the practice manager.

Confidentiality

We ask you for personal information so that you can receive appropriate care and treatment. This information is recorded on computer and we are registered under the Data Protection Act. The practice will ensure that patient confidentiality is maintained at all times by all members of the practice team, However, for the effective functioning of a multi-disciplinary team it is sometimes necessary that medical information about you is shared between members of the team.
