As a health professional, I keep records of my patients (and therefore their identifying details).

The use and storage of these records are subject to several sets of legal and professional requirements; all intended for the patient's best interests.

I keep these records electronically. Any paper information you provide me with is scanned into electronic format before being securely shredded.

Patient data will not be shared with anyone without patient consent.

I will undertake all reasonable actions to protect patient data.

I maintain contact with patients by post, email, telephone and text messaging.

Patient records are kept for at least 7 years following the last contact. For minors this is at least 7 years after reaching the age of majority (18) i.e. age 25.
