Confidentiality of Records

By law everyone working for, or on behalf of, the NHS must respect your confidentiality and keep all information about you secure. In every place where you're treated by the NHS, there are people responsible for protecting your confidentiality. These people are often known as Caldicott Guardians.

The NHS publishes a Care Records Guarantee for England. This says how the NHS Care Records Service will collect, store and allow access to your electronic records, and your options to take part in the service.
