How the Practice handles your information

The practice complies with data protection and access to medical records legislation. Identifiable information about you will only 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 social services. This requires your consent.

• Anonymised patient information may also be used at local and national level to help the Health Board and Government plan services e.g. for diabetic care.  This information would be unidentifiable information.

If you do not wish anonymous information about you to be used in such a way, please let us know.
