Your personal information is stored on computer. This practice is registered with the Data Protection Commissioner. Your personal data is retained in your manual record.
We will regularly update your personal data, including your medical care, to keep it relevant.

PHYSIOTHERAPY
Personal data is kept for specified, explicit and lawful purposes.
Your personal data is obtained, kept and used primarily for the purpose of providing you with healthcare efficiently and safely at all times. Staff within the practice will have access to the data on a ‘need-to-know’ basis to ensure you receive the highest standard of care. In the course of your care, members of the Physiotherapy team may access your records:
• To generate a work certificate
• To type, if dictated or print a referral letter to another healthcare professional
• To open correspondence or any other documents from other healthcare professionals
• To print or photocopy your records if you instruct us to forward them to another healthcare professional
• To collate, print, photocopy and post insurance or medico-legal reports.
It is practice policy to send you a reminder of when your next appointment is due. This reminder is sent to you by SMS. We seek your consent to use your personal data for this purpose and advise you of your right to refuse to have your data used for this purpose.
Personal data is only used and disclosed for the purpose of your care.
**All members of the physiotherapy team adhere to the practice’s Code on Confidentiality in compliance with the Data Protection Acts, 1988 and 2003.
Access to your personal data is on a ‘need-to-know’ basis. This prohibits the release of your information to a spouse, partner or family member without your explicit consent. A guardian or carer may have the right to access information in the case of vulnerable adults or those with diminished mental capacity. A parent or guardian will have access to your personal information if you are less than 16 years of age.
A copy of your Physiotherapy records will be transferred to another practice or healthcare professional upon your written request.
Your consent will be sought before the release of any data to other healthcare professionals and then only the relevant part of your records will be released. All healthcare professionals are required to treat your personal data to the same standard of privacy as outlined in this statement.
Your consent will be sought in the case of:
• A report to an insurance company
• A medico-legal report
There are certain activities where patient information may be used but where the information is anonymised, eliminating patient identification:
• Teaching
• Continuing Professional Development. Case studies are a very useful learning tool
• Quality Assurance/Internal audit. Audit is a necessary tool in assessing and assuring
the quality of your care
• Research
Personal data is kept securely.
