We Are Open

Patient data in the NHS is only ever shared for two reasons: to provide patients with the best possible care, and the planning and research needed to design health care services that suit patients.

Patient data is only ever shared within the NHS or with legitimate third parties who help the NHS.

Data is never sold or made available for insurance or marketing purposes, to sell or promote products or services, for market research or advertising.
