OTHER INFORMATION

In-patients

In-patient care will be provided for our patients at Bourton and Moreton Hospitals.

Patient Confidentiality

All our staff are trained to understand the need for confidentiality and we take care not to disclose information to anyone who is not authorised to see it, even members of your own family. When you are under our care there are times when we need to share the appropriate information with other healthcare organisations, ie hospital services. Unless we are required by law to do so, we need your signed authority to disclose information to anyone outside the healthcare service. General patient care information is required to be reported to the Primary Care Trust but this is done by removing all personal details to maintain complete confidentiality.

Freedom Of Information – Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges the practice to produce a Publication Scheme. A Publication Scheme is a guide to the ‘classes’ of information the practice intends to routinely make available.

This scheme is available from reception or, alternatively, by downloading from our website.
