Sharing your medical history to local healthcare professionals
When we refer you to another health professional, such as a hospital Consultant
or Physiotherapist we need to give them your medical history so that they are aware of your health and any medication you are taking.
The practice is also part of a local shared record scheme, this means that if you require urgent care the health professionals who will care for you can view your GP health records.
National Data Sharing
Practices can no longer opt patients out of national data sharing. For information on your choices under the National Data Opt Out, please see link below: https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/manage-your-choice/
