Confidentiality

We have a duty of confidentiality to you our patients. We regard this as being of the utmost importance. We would like to make a few points about this.

We are frequently asked for reports by insurance companies, solicitors, employers etc. Before providing these reports we shall require written consent. Where the consent does not appear to make clear the full extent we may ask for more explicit consent direct from the patient or his representative. For example solicitors frequently request copies of the entire medical record even though you may imagine they have only requested copies of the records pertaining to the accident/event.

We cannot provide information to relatives and spouses without consent.

You have a right to examine your notes according to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998.

Members of staff may need access to patient's medical records for administrative purposes. Staff from the Health Authority, who are fully trained and authorised and have a duty of confidentiality, may be involved in ensuring that claims made by the practice correspond to the services provided.
