Your information and data

Ethnic data

To help us make sure we provide the right type of service for all our patients, you will be asked to tell us about your ethnic origin. Please note that giving this information is voluntary.

Keeping information about you confidential

We ask you for information so that you can receive the care and treatment you need. We keep this information, together with details of your care, because it may be needed if we see you again.

Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential. Further information on this subject is available in all outpatient clinic areas.
