DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS
MEDICAL RECORDS

A General Practice is a trusted community governed by an ethic of privacy and confidentiality. In order to provide for your care, we need to collect and keep information about you and your health in your personal medical record. Our policies are consistent with the Medical Council guidelines and the privacy principles of the Data Protection Regulations.

This practice has voluntarily adopted the requirements of ‘Processing of Patient Personal Data: A Guideline for General Practitioners’ which can be downloaded from the Irish College of General Practitioners website at http://www.icgp.ie/data
