Our Privacy Notice

The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) came into effect in the UK on 25th May 2018. The Government has confirmed that the UK's decision to leave the EU will not affect this and GDPR will remain.

The EU GDPR is designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe. It aims to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches. It replaces the Data Protection Act (DPA).

Our Practice Privacy Notice gives more detail information about what information we hold on you, how we manage it, who we share it with and how we protect it.

This practice is supporting vital health and care planning and research by sharing your data with NHS Digital. For more information about this see the GP Practice Privacy Notice for General Practice Data for Planning and Research
