Privacy policy -
We store information about you on computer as a digital record.
We adhere to the guidelines of the College of Optometrists and the Data Protection Act and will not pass any of your personal information to a third party without your consent unless there is a clear public interest duty to do so. You will need to provide us with your consent if you wish us to pass your information to another optometrist.
It may be necessary, where the latest technology allows us to do so, to use your information and health data to facilitate digital consultations and diagnoses and we will always do so with your security in mind.
If you are an NHS patient, the NHS may ask to see the portion of your record that relates to NHS services provided. Such information will only be given to the NHS in strictest confidence. You are entitled to a copy of your records, although there may be an administrative charge. If you wish to see your records, please ask Michaela Kelcher and we will respond as quickly as possible and in any case are required to do so within 30 days. If you require independent advice, contact the Information Commissioner's Office at www.ico.gov.uk
