Privacy Notice for Patients and Carers
This privacy notice explains in detail why we use your personal data which we, the GP practice, (Data Controller), collect and process information about you.
A Data Controller determines how the data will be processed and used with the GP practice and with others who we share this data with. We are legally responsible for ensuring that all personal data we hold and use is done so in a way that meets the data protection principles under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018.
This notice also explains how we handle that data and keep it safe. The GP Practice also has a Caldicott Guardian. Caldicott Guardian is a senior person within a health or social care organisation, preferably a health professional, who makes sure that the personal information about those who use its services is used legally, ethically, and appropriately, and that confidentiality is maintained.
We will continually review and update this privacy notice to reflect changes in our services and to comply with changes in the Law.
