INFORMATION SHARING

Sharing of Clinical Data

As part of the NHS, the GP Surgery is obliged to share certain information with other organisations, both NHS & third Party. The sharing of data is strictly governed by the Data Protection & Caldicott guidelines. We shre information for 3 main reasons: to help other healthcare proffesionals to providethe best care for you, to provide statistical information to help with disease management and best practice, and for continued improvement of quality of services we provide for you.

As part ofthe contract between GPs and the NHS. we are required to undertake a number of patient surveys. Some surveys are conducted within the practice but national surveys require us to provide patients names and addresses to a third party company for forms to be posted to patients. The company acts under very strict contactual guidelines to keep your details safe.

In order to provide the best care, doctors and nurses in other NHS organisations need to know the best way to treat our patients. Limited clinical information is shared for a referral and also for the Common Health Record - a system for a number of organisations to submit their information to create a complete record for everyone. This is especialliy useful in emergencies.

The new Electronic Prescription Service will send limited information on your medication to the NHS Prescriptions Pricing Authority and your nominated pharmacy.

Further Information and leaflets can be obtained from reception.
