Absolute confidentiality is fundamental to the running of this
service.
A set of
clinic notes would have been made for you with a unique clinic number. You can
be very confident that any personal information given to us will be carefully
protected. At the very least, we need a date of birth, which we will match up
with your own personal clinic number. These notes remain within the clinic and
there are no links to the general medical record system in the rest of the
hospital.
There are
occasions when full name and address are needed i.e. when patients are referred
to services outside of this department, principally radiology (x-ray and
ultrasound scanning).
