OVERVIEW: WHY YOUR DATA MATTERS

For Private Patients

Speak to us (Kings Fertility Ltd) directly to understand how we use your data.

You do have the right to opt out of your data being used for research.

We will use your data for purposes linked to improving our services.

For NHS Patients or where you receive NHS services

The NHS wants to make sure you and your family have the best care now and in the future. Your health and adult social care information supports your individual care. It also helps us to research, plan and improve health and care services in England.

You can find out more at https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/manage-your-choice/.

Unless you have chosen to opt out, your confidential patient information can be used for research and planning. There is an online service that allows you to make or change your decision at any time. You can also download a form to manage a choice on behalf of another individual by proxy. For example, if you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13.

Using your confidential patient information

Your confidential patient information is used in two different ways:

  • Health and care professionals may use your confidential patient information to help with your treatment and care. For example, when you visit your GP, they may access your records for important information about your health.
  • Confidential patient information is also used to:
  • Plan and improve health and care services:
  • Research and develop cures for serious illnesses

Where you have a choice

If you don’t want your confidential patient information to be used for research and planning, you can opt out of this. Your confidential patient information will still be used to support your individual care. Any choice you set using this service will not change this.

Manage your choice

You can find out more at https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/manage-your-choice/.

You may use the online service, or request a print-and-post form, to make or change your choice at any time. You can also request assistance or make your choice using a telephone service. If you do not wish to opt out, you don’t have to do anything at all.

Your decision will also be respected and applied by all other organisations that are responsible for health and care information by March 2020.

An opt-out will only apply to the health and care system in England.
