The Practice processes personal data in accordance with the six Data Protection Principles for GDPR identified by the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office), which means it will:
Our practice policy is to respect the privacy of our patients, their families and our staff and to maintain compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and all UK specific Data Protection Requirements.
Our policy is to ensure all personal data related to our patients will be protected. All employees and sub-contractors engaged by our practice are asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Doctors work under the NHS Confidentiality Code of Practice. This sets out standards concerning confidentiality and patients' consent to use their health records. We will only share your information with others directly involved in your care.
To help ensure health records are managed consistently across England there is a Records Management Code of Practice. This provides important information to those responsible for managing records. It includes guidance on topics such as what the law says about managing records, how to file and store records and how long records should be kept for.
The Freedom of Information Act gives individuals or organisations the right to request information held by a public authority. As a Public body Sefton Park Medical Centre has a duty to comply with all aspects of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
The Practice is required to publish a Freedom of Information Scheme document which gives some details of where information relating to the practice is either already available to the public or can be obtained from the practice upon request. Whilst much of the information is freely available at no charge, there are circumstances where a charge may be made (to cover photocopying hardcopy material) or will be refused (whereby it contains personal data).
