From the 25th May 2018 GDPR came into force. The Privacy Notice below lays out how the Prince of Wales Surgery manages your data and how and when we share it and to who. The Privacy Notice has been updated to take into account the current circumstances surrounding Covid-19.
In January 2016 we started sharing your information with other healthcare services treating you which use the same clinical system as the surgery. Please click on the document link below for more information about what this will mean to you and information on our Privacy Statement please see the link above.
NHS England has been directed by the government to establish and operate the OpenSAFELY COVID-19 Service and the OpenSAFELY Data Analytics Service. These services provide a secure environment that supports research, clinical audit, service evaluation and health surveillance for COVID-19 and other purposes.
Each GP practice remains the controller of its own GP patient data but is required to let approved users run queries on pseudonymised patient data. This means identifiers are removed and replaced with a pseudonym.
Only approved users are allowed to run these queries, and they will not be able to access information that directly or indirectly identifies individuals.
Patients who do not wish for their data to be used as part of this process can register a type 1 opt out with their GP.
