Deafness, the hidden disability
The data held in your GP medical records is shared with other healthcare professionals for the purposes of your individual care. It is also shared with other organisations to support health and care planning and research.
If you do not want your
personally identifiable patient data to be shared outside of your GP practice
for purposes except your own care, you can register an opt-out with your GP
practice. This is known as a Type 1 Opt-out.
Type 1 Opt-outs may be discontinued in the future. If this happens then they may be turned into a National Data Opt-out. Your GP practice will tell you if this is going to happen and if you need to do anything.
More information about the National Data
Opt-out is here: https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/
