Data Protection

Southbourne Surgery is committed to protecting patient and staff data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We collect, store, and use personal information lawfully, fairly, and transparently, only for the purposes of providing safe and effective healthcare. All data is kept secure, confidential, and accessible only to authorised staff. Patients have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of their data. Our team is trained in data protection and confidentiality, and we have procedures in place to report and manage data breaches. This policy is reviewed regularly to ensure compliance and best practice.

We use Accurx software and their Data security policy can be viewed here:
