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.
Woosehill Medical Centre may share patient information with NHS England, the Integrated Care Board, and other authorised organisations where there is a legal basis to do so. Where confidential patient information is shared for purposes beyond individual care, Woosehill Medical Centre ensures that the National Data Opt Out is applied in accordance with NHS England requirements.
Woosehill Medical Centre does not use confidential patient information for research or planning purposes without an appropriate legal basis. Where required, we ensure that patient opt-out preferences are respected.
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
Alternatively, patients can contact the practice for further information.
