How we safeguard your data – GDPR
From 25th May 2018, the Data Protection Act (1998) was replaced by a piece of legislation known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As part of this change, we have to display a privacy notice, which explains how we process the data that we hold on you.
Our privacy notice deals with your direct care, which is the most common way that we process your data. This notice is also displayed on our notice board in the main reception area.
You can also ask at reception for our privacy notices relating to the following data processing areas, including;
- The CQC
- Emergencies
- NHS Digital
- Safeguarding
- Payments
- Public Health
- Research
- Risk Stratification
- National Screening Programmes
- Summary Care Records
Our nominated Data Protection Officer (DPO) is Dr Mano Jegasothy, one of the GP Partners. If you have any questions about how GDPR might affect you, please do contact the surgery and ask for a message to be put through to him.
