The practice complies with data protection and access to medical records legislation. Identifiable information about you will be shared with others in the following circumstances:
To provide further medical treatment for you e.g., from district nurses and hospital services.
To help you get other services e.g., from the social work department. This requires your consent.
When we have a duty to others e.g., in child protection cases anonymised patient information will also be used at local and national level to help the Health Board and Government plan services e.g. for diabetic care.
If you do not wish anonymous information about you to be used in such a way, please let us know.
Reception and administration staff require access to your medical records in order to do their jobs. These members of staff are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the medical staff.
Due to patient confidentiality, we are unable to discuss any aspect of a patients medical file with anybody other than the patient without express consent.
If you would like to consent for someone else to be able to discuss your medical records with Practice staff, please complete the form below.
