Your medical records

This information is obtained from the leaflet entitled "IMPORTANT CHANGES TO YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS" issued by the Audlem Medical Practice.

GP practices across England will soon be required to supply patients' personal and confidential information to the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC).

The programme is called care.data and the information uploaded will be used for purposes other than your direct medical care.

Other medical services will not be able to use this information, but the data is likely to be made available to organisations outside the NHS such as universities and commercial organisations.

You and your family can opt out of this process, but to do so you have to inform your GP.
