Confidentiality
Discussions between you and your doctor or nurse are confidential. You can be assured that matters you discuss will be kept confidential. If a third party, for example an insurance company, wants to access your medical records, it can only be done after you have given permission in writing and it is your right to see any such information before it is sent on. We will only disclose test results to you, unless you have given permission in writing for someone else to get the result on your behalf.
There are some occasions where we are legally bound to pass on confidential information without getting permission first. This happens in the very rare circumstance of protecting you or someone else from serious harm.
The practice is registered and complies with the Data Protection Act 1998. Any request for access to notes by a patient, patient’s representative or outside body will be dealt with in accordance with the Act. Please contact the Practice Manager for further information.
