GDPR and Data Sharing

 

< Back to policies & procedures

The practice complies with GDPR, 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 you need to let us know. To opt out of NHS data sharing agreements please go to NHS: Your Data Matters
