GDPR

The Practice Privacy Notice has been updated. See the latest version here and in the folder in the waiting room. It has been updated because of a change to the way in which our clinical system providers (EMIS WEB) store their data. Our patients’ medical records are stored on EMIS.

The Practice uses a clinical system provided by a Data Processor called EMIS, with effect from 10th June 2019, EMIS will start storing your practice’s EMIS Web data in a highly secure, third party cloud hosted environment, namely Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). 

The data will remain in the UK at all times and will be fully encrypted both in transit and at rest. In doing this, there will be no change to the control of access to your data and the hosted service provider will not have any access to the decryption keys. AWS is one of the world’s largest cloud companies, already supporting numerous public sector clients (including the NHS), and it offers the very highest levels of security and support.
