Full name
Date of birth
Home address
Contact telephone number
GP address
Next of kin name and contact telephone number
Health and medical information
In addition to the above the clinician treating you will ask if you have any medical conditions and/or any medications (both prescription and over the counter) that you take on a regular basis. This is to ensure that the clinician is well informed of any conditions that may impact their assessment of you and ensure that the treatment provided is in line with best practice.
This information can only be provided by yourself (parent/guardian)
What we use your personal data for
We obtain and use your medical information because this is necessary for medical purposes, including medical treatment and the provision of healthcare or treatment. This includes the information collected through your contact with our medical team that will be recorded on a patient report form (of which you may request a copy).
Where necessary, we may need to share personal data for the purposes of crime prevention.
We will store your medical information electronically in a secure server.
All our patient report forms will be kept for 10 years following your interaction with one of our clinicians. Strict confidentiality and data security provisions will apply at all times to any such audit and access. We hold you data as we may need to review your information and, where necessary, make disclosures in compliance with reasonable requests by regulatory bodies including the Health and Care Professionals Council, MHRA, and Care Quality Commission, or as otherwise required by law or regulation.
For safety, regulatory and/or compliance purposes, we will audit your interactions with our service. Strict confidentiality and data security provisions will always apply to any such audit and access.
Data Sharing
We may share your personal data with other health care professionals where your care needs to continue with an NHS organisation (such as a hospital or NHS Ambulance Service). This will be done with you present. Acute Medics will not share your personal data without your consent. This may include sharing information with such services for safeguarding purposes in accordance with our legal obligations.
We may preserve or disclose information about you to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to assert legal rights or defend against legal claims; or to prevent, detect, or investigate illegal activity, fraud, abuse, violations of our terms, or threats to the security of our services or the physical safety of any person.
Except as described above, we will never share your personal information with any other party without your consent.
