Our Data Controller is Leatside Health Centre. We are committed to protecting your privacy and every member of staff who works for an NHS organisation has a legal obligation to keep information about you confidential.  We will only use information collected in a lawful way. We will only ever use or pass on information about you if others involved in your care have a genuine need for it. We will not disclose your information to any third party without your permission unless there are exceptional circumstances (i.e. life or death situations)or where the law requires information to be passed on.  We may also have to share your information, subject to strict agreements on how it will be used, with our partner organisations such as Social Services or the District Nurses.

You have the right to request access to view or obtain copies of the information the surgery holds about you and to have it amended if it is factually inaccurate.  Your request must be in writing and we have one month to respond.  If you want to see information from another provider, such as the hospital, you should write to them directly. Should you have any concerns about how your information is managed at the practice, please contact the Practice Manager.  If you are still unhappy following a review by the data controller, you can then complain to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) via their website (www.ico.gov.uk).

Violence Policy

The NHS operate a zero tolerance policy with regard to violence and abuse and the practice has the right to remove violent patients from the list with immediate effect in order to safeguard practice staff, patients and other persons.
