NHS Digital Data Sharing
We would like to reassure our patients that the proposed extraction of GP data by NHS Digital does NOT include any patients registered with this practice or in NHS Scotland. NHS Digital provide services in England so are not able to access any data held in Scotland. You are not required to opt out as your data is already safe. We take patient confidentiality extremely seriously and safeguards are in place to protect this, including when data is used for research.
National Services Scotland are the organisation who are responsible for projects that affect all health boards in Scotland, like data sharing for national systems. If patients are concerned about sharing taking place nationally, they can contact:
