Confidentiality

Patient medical records are available to the doctors and other practice staff involved in your care. No information will be given to any other person without that patient’s express consent. Anyone wishing to see their records from October 1991 onwards is entitled to do so. Please ask at reception if you wish to do this who will then book a convenient time.

All our patient records are held on computer from 2001 and records of new patients are summarised onto our computer system (we retain the old paper records on site). Access to this information is under strict control of the doctors in the practice. You may see any of this information by prior arrangement – please ask at reception if you wish to do so. There is a written code of confidentiality available in the waiting room which explains in more detail how patient information is protected.

Oxfordshire Care Summary

Oxfordshire care summary is a new way of sharing health information in Oxfordshire.  If you say ‘yes’ the Oxfordshire care summary means healthcare professionals treating you in Oxfordshire can see the electronic view on the computer. For more information about this please go to http://www.oxfordshireccg.nhs.uk/your-health/:

As a training practice we are assessed regularly by an external team of GPs and practice Managers.  They may inspect our standard of record keeping by auditing patient records but no individual patient information is removed from the practice.
