Your medical records are confidential and we are only able to divulge this information (to Solicitors etc) with your written consent.
We ask you for information about yourself so that you can receive proper care and treatment. We keep this information, together with details of your care, because it may be needed if we see you again.
We have a statutory obligation to keep information about you as part of your medical record. We only ever use or pass on information about you if people have a genuine need for it in your and everyone’s interest. Whenever we can we will remove details which identify you. The sharing of some types of very sensitive personal information is strictly controlled by law.
Anyone who receives information from us is also under a legal obligation to keep it confidential.
