GDPR Information for Children
What's the GDPR all about?
The General Data Protection Regulation is a new document which helps your doctor's surgery keep the information about you safe.
People who look after your information are called data controllers and the people who use your data are called data processors.
You can ask to see the information we hold about you at any time. If you're under 16 but over 12, you may be able to do this yourself.
Consent means you allow us to use your information for the purpose of your care. Parental consent is required if you're under 16.
Don't worry we won't share your information if you don't want us to.
Still got a question? Just ask a member of our friendly team.

Minuteful Kidney service for patients with diabetes (and/or other conditions)
The data is being processed for the purpose of delivery of a programme, sponsored by NHS Digital, to monitor urine for indications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is recommended to be undertaken annually for patients at risk of chronic kidney disease e.g., patients living with diabetes. The programme enables patients to test their kidney function from home. We will share your contact details with Healthy.io to enable them to contact you and send you a test kit. This will help identify patients at risk of kidney disease and help us agree any early interventions that can be put in place for the benefit of your care. Healthy.io will only use your data for the purposes of delivering their service to you. If you do not wish to receive a home test kit from Healthy.io we will continue to manage your care within the Practice. Healthy.io are required to hold data we send them in line with retention periods outlined in the Records Management code of Practice for Health and Social Care. Further information about this is available at: lp.healthy.io/minuteful_info.
