Confidentiality

Making sure that all visits and contacts with us are confidential is very important to all the clinic staff. This applies to doctors, nurses, health advisors and administrative staff, including receptionists, secretaries and managers.

No identifiable information is passed to anyone or any agency without your permission, except when it is essential for providing urgent care or necessary to protect somebodies health, safety or well being.

We have a standalone notes system that is not linked to the main hospital or to GP surgeries.

Please talk to us if you have any concerns about confidentiality.

Under 16 and worried about confidentiality?

The same level of confidentiality applies to young people, including those that are under 16. This means that you can tell others about your visit but we won't.

The only reason we might have to consider passing on information without your permission, would be to protect you or someone else from harm.

We would always try to discuss this with you first. There is always someone here to listen to your concerns and provide support.
