- How information about you helps us to provide
better care:
Confidential information from your medical
records can be used by the NHS to improve the
services offered so we can provide the best
possible care for everyone.
This information along with your postcode and
NHS number but not your name, are sent to a
secure system where it can be linked with your
other health information.
This allows those planning NHS Services or
carrying out medical research to use information
from different parts of the NHS in a way which
does not identify you.
You have a choice. If you are happy for your
information to be used in this way you do not
have to do anything.
If you have any concerns or wish to prevent
this from happening, please speak to practice
staff or ask at reception for a copy of the
leaflet "How information about you helps us to
provide better care".
