Your medical records

Keeping information about you secure

Your doctor and the other professionals caring for you keep records about your health and any treatment or care you receive from the NHS. These records are then used to guide and manage the care you receive.

We are professionally and legally bound to make sure information about your treatment and care is kept safe and confidential.

Electronic patient record

The Trust has introduced a very successful electronic patient record (EPR) with strict controls that ensure only relevant staff have certain levels of access to the information related to your treatment and care. If you would like further information about this or your rights regarding opting out of the National Care Records System, please contact the Trust's Caldicott Guardian on 0161 748 4022.
