We ask you for personal information so that you can receive appropriate care and treatment. This information is recorded on computer and we are registered under the Data Protection Act. The information recorded also enables us to analyse various aspects of health and to produce an annual practice report. The practice will ensure that patient confidentiality is maintained at all times by all members of the Practice Team. However, for the effective functioning of a multi-disciplinary team it is sometimes necessary that medical information about you is shared between members of the team.
