Your healthcare data is important and can help with planning services and developing new treatments. If you are happy for your data to be used in this way (according to General Data Protection Regulations), you don’t need to do anything. However, you may not want your data to be used in this way but only for your immediate healthcare needs. You can read more about this and choose to opt-out of sharing your data here. Please don’t contact the surgery directly about this as all the information and options to opt out are with NHS Digital. Our Clinical System (EMIS) will be fully compliant with the regulations to apply any opt-out that you register with NHS Digital to your records.
