We are committed to protecting your privacy and confidentiality. All members of the practice team have a legal and professional duty to keep your personal and medical information secure and confidential.

Your health information is used to provide you with safe and effective care and is only shared with healthcare professionals involved in your treatment, or where there is a legal duty to do so. We follow NHS Scotland policies and data protection legislation to ensure your information is handled appropriately. 

You have the right to:

• Expect your personal information to be kept confidential
• Ask how your information is used and shared
• Request access to your medical records
• Tell us if you have concerns about how your information is handled

In some circumstances, information may need to be shared without your consent, for example where required by law or to protect your safety or the safety of others. Any such decision is carefully considered and recorded.

If you have any questions about confidentiality or how your information is used, please contact the practice.
