Patient data is information that relates to a single person, such as his/her name, Date of birth, address, NHS Number, medical history, any diagnosis and medications and anything else contained in the medical record.
The changes in GDPR mean that we must get explicit permission from patients when using their data. This is to protect your right to privacy and we may ask you to provide consent to do certain things, like contact you via SMS message or record certain information about you for your clinical records.
