your care dataInformation about you and the care you receive is shared, in a secure system, by healthcare staff to support your treatment and care.

Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Record

Red Roofs Surgery works with other health and social care organisations to share information that will form part of your Integrated Care Record.  The Integrated Care Record allows health and care professionals involved in your care to view your records to help them understand your needs and make the best decisions with you, and for you.  Information we hold about you will be available, to read only, to other Health and care professionals in Coventry and Warwickshire, Birmingham and Solihull, and Herefordshire and Worcestershire when they are involved in your health or social care.

For more information on how your data is used on the Integrated Care Record and how to exercise your rights please see the full Privacy Notice or copy and paste this link https://www.happyhealthylives.uk/our-priorities/digital-transformation/integrated-care-record/privacy-notice/

It is important that we, the NHS, can use this information to plan and improve services for all patients. We would like to link information from all the different places where you receive care, such as your GP, hospital and community service, to help us provide a full picture. This will allow us to compare the care you received in one area against the care you received in another, so we can see what has worked best.

Information such as your postcode and NHS number, but not your name, will be used to link your records in a secure system, so your identity is protected. Information which does not reveal your identity can then be used by others, such as researchers and those planning health services, to make sure we provide the best care possible for everyone.

You have a choice. If you are happy for your information to be used in this way you do not have to do anything. If you have any concerns or wish to prevent this from happening, please see the section on the National Data opt out scheme.

Recording of Consultation for training purposes:

*We would like to record the upcoming consultation that you or your relatives are having have today with Doctor X

This is solely for training, education and assessment purposes. The recording, processing and storage of the consultation will comply with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and is in line with guidance of the General Medical Council.

More information on how we will manage your data is given above.

You do not have to agree to your consultation with the doctor being recorded. If you do not want us to record the consultation, this is not a problem at all, and will not affect the care you receive in in any way.

If you do give your consent, then you will have the opportunity to withdraw this at any time in the future, including immediately after the consultation.
