Data Protection Code of Practice - For Patients
This practice complies with the Data Protection Act 1998 and this policy describes our procedures for ensuring that personal information about patients is processed fairly and lawfully.
We must keep comprehensive and accurate personal data about you to provide you with a high standard of appropriate dental care. Where applicable we also need to process personal data about you to provide care under NHS arrangements and to ensure the proper management and administration of the NHS.
The personal data that we hold includes:
• Personal details such as your date of birth, National Insurance number/NHS number, address, telephone number and your general medical practitioner • Your past and current medical and dental health • Radiographs, clinical photographs and study models • Information about the treatment that we have provided or propose to provide and its cost • Notes of conversations about your care • Records of consent to treatment • Charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information; or • Correspondence with other health care professionals relating to you, for example in the hospital or community services.
We will process this personal data the following way:
We keep your records for 10 years after the date of your last visit to the Practice or until you reach the age of 25 years whichever is the longer.
Personal data about you is held in the practice computer system and/or in a manual filing system. The information is not accessible to the public; only authorised members of staff have access to it. Staff are trained in their legal responsibilities under the Data Protection Act and practical procedures for maintaining confidentiality.
We take precautions to keep the practice premises, filing systems and computers physically secure. Our computer system has secure audit trails and we back-up information routinely. We use cloud computing facilities for the storage and processing of some of your data. The practice has a rigorous service level agreement with our cloud provider to ensure that all our obligations in this policy are fulfilled and that your information is secure.
To provide proper and safe dental care, we may need to disclose personal information about you to: • Your general medical practitioner • The hospital or community dental services • Other health professionals caring for you • NHS payment authorities • HM Revenue and Customs • The Department for Work and Pensions and its agencies, where you are claiming exemption or remission from NHS charges • Private dental schemes of which you are a member. Where possible, you will be informed of these requests for disclosure.
Disclosure will take place on a ‘need-to-know’ basis. We will only provide information to individuals or organisations who need it to provide care to you or to ensure the proper administration of government (whose personnel are covered by strict confidentiality rules). We will only disclose information that the recipient needs to have.
In limited circumstances or if required by law or a court order, personal data may be disclosed to a third party not connected with your health care.In all other situations, disclosure that is not covered by this Code of Practice will only occur when we have your specific consent.
You can access to the data that we hold about you and to receive a copy by submitting a written request to your dentist. We will provide the requested information (and an explanation if you require it) within one calendar month of receiving your request. Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive (particularly if they are repetitive), we can:
• Refuse to respond.
If you do not wish personal data that we hold about you to be disclosed or used in the way that is described in this Code, you should discuss the matter with your dentist. You should be aware, however, that objecting to how we process your information may affect our ability to provide you with dental care.
