I take my patients' privacy rights extremely seriously. This privacy statement explains how I handle your 'personal information,' which is information that can be used to identify or connect you to another individual.
What personal information do I obtain?
I will require specific information from you in order to treat you. Name, gender, date of birth, home address, email address, phone number, and medical history. I'll continue adding details of the symptoms for which you've sought my advice, as well as the medicines and other treatments I've prescribed or suggested.
How your personal information collected?
All of the data we've gathered has come directly from you. Typically, this occurs during your initial consultation. The data is gathered using a 'new patient form,' which must be completed prior to the initial visit. You must give us your consent to store and use your personal data at the time you supply it. To ensure that I comply with data protection legislation, I need your permission. Following that, I'll add information of the consultations you've had with me to this initial information.
How is your personal data used?
I use your personal information to assess the issues for which you have received help and to prescribe medications and other treatments.
I'll connect with you by email, other digital platforms and phone
Is my personal information shared with anyone?
I do not disclose any of your personal information with anyone unless is required by law or authorities.
How long is your personal information stored?
For as long as you continue to have consultations, your information will be kept. I'll store your information for seven years following your last visit since people frequently return for additional consultations after a period of absence. Your file will be securely destroyed at that time, and any digital information stored on my computer systems will be deleted.
How is your information updated?
You must notify me of any changes you believe I should make to the personal information I possess to ensure that I have correct and up-to-date information. You can do so by contacting me via email
You have the right to see the personal information I have about you under data protection legislation. You can make a request by contacting me, and I will try to respond within 14 business days.pe
How is your personal information stored?
Patient files and information may be gathered or stored in physical or digital copies and kept in a secured place. I take precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification, as well as loss or theft.
Modifications to this policy
This policy may be modified at any moment. If I make any significant changes, I will notify you.
