Registering for NHS Care
All patients who receive NHS care are registered on a national database.
This database holds your name, address, date of birth and NHS Number but it does not hold medical information about the care you receive.
The database is held by NHS Digital, a national organisation which has legal responsibilities to hold the NHS register.
More information can be found at: https://digital.nhs.uk/services/systems-and-service-delivery/national-health-application-and-infrastructure-services/primary-care-registration or the phone number for general enquires at NHS Digital is 0300 303 5678
Identifying patients who might be at risk of certain diseases
Your medical records may be searched by approved computer programmes so that we can identify patients who might be at high risk from certain diseases such as heart disease or unplanned admissions to hospital.
This means we can offer patients additional care or support as early as possible.
This process may involve linking information from your GP record with information from other health or social care services you have used.
National Screening Programmes
These screening programmes include bowel cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, aortic aneurysms and a diabetic eye screening service.
The law allows us to share your contact information with Public Health England so that you can be invited to the relevant screening programme.
