Looking after your information
Why do you record information about me?

A record of your medical history enables us to:

Provide proper care for you if we need to see you
Provide relevant information to other health professionals if you are referred to another part of the NHS (such as being referred from your GP to a hospital consultant)
Review the type and quality of care you receive to make sure it is of the highest standard (This is known as clinical audit)
Investigate your concerns if you ever need to complain or make a legal claim regarding your treatment

Is information about me used for anything else?
