Privacy Policy
As a patient of the Wye Valley Chiropractic Clinic we need to hold personal information about you (name, address, medical history, GP, etc). These are normally stored as paper records. This data is held solely for the purpose of providing safe and effective care. Your data is not used for marketing or any other purpose.
The Clinic Director is the data controller and is responsible for the accuracy and safe-keeping of data. Please help to keep your records up to date by informing the clinic of any changes.
All information about you is held securely, and appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent accidental loss, or access without consent and no records are kept longer than necessary. Clinic staff will have access to you records to enable them to do their jobs. Anyone with access to your records is properly trained in confidentiality issues. From time to time information may be shared with others involved in your care, if it is necessary.
In almost all circumstances you will be required to give written consent before information is released – such as the reports for insurance, solicitors, GP letters etc. In exceptionally rare circumstances we may be required by law to release your records, for example if a court order is presented, or there is an imminent risk to the life of yourself or others.
To ensure your privacy, we will not disclose information over the telephone, fax, or email unless we are sure that we are communicating directly with you. Information will not be disclosed to family and friends unless we have prior written consent and we do not leave messages involving personal data with others.
You have a right to access your all your records held at the clinic, and there is usually no fee payable. If paper or digital copies are required, the charge for providing copies will not exceed £50, (but is usually significantly less). All requests for personal data must be made in writing by the patient or legal guardian to:
