Sharing patient information – give us your views

Health and care organisations in Dorset are allowed to share information from your health and care records to help them provide you with care and treatment. This includes sharing your records between GPs, hospitals, community and mental health services and social services.
 
Information about your health and wellbeing is also very useful for the NHS and other health and care services to:
 
  • plan the services that people will need in the future
  • improve health and care services for everybody
  • develop new cures and treatments
  • find new ways of preventing people from becoming ill.
 
Your information is always kept safely and securely, and you cannot be identified from it (except when it is used to provide your individual care).
 
You can choose not to have information about you shared by registering to opt out.
 
We want to make sure that people in Dorset understand how their health and care information is shared. We also want you to have trust and confidence that this is being done safely and securely.
 
To help us do this, we would like to ask you a few questions about:
  • How you think information from your health and care records is shared now.
  • How information from your health and care records could be shared in the future.
  • What would give you trust and confidence in how your information is shared.
 
We will use the answers to plan how we keep you informed about, and involved in, how your health and care information is shared.
 
Please complete and submit by 19 August 2022.
