Woosehill Medical Centre complies with the National Data Opt Out policy.
The National Data Opt Out allows patients to choose whether their confidential patient information is used for purposes beyond their individual care, such as research and planning.
This does not affect the use of your information for your direct care and treatment. Health and care professionals involved in your care will still be able to use and share relevant information where this is needed to provide safe care.
Woosehill Medical Centre will only use or share confidential patient information for purposes beyond individual care where there is a clear legal basis to do so. Where the National Data Opt Out applies, we will apply it before the information is used or shared.
Woosehill Medical Centre has procedures in place to check whether any current or future use or disclosure of confidential patient information falls within the National Data Opt Out policy.
Patients can find out more about the National Data Opt Out and set or change their choice at: Choose if data from your health records is shared for research and planning – NHS
You can change your choice at any time. Summary Care Records (SCR) – information for patients – NHS England Digital
Alternatively, patients can contact the practice for further information.
