We provide a confidential service to all of our patients including under 16s. No personal information can be accessed by any individual or organisation outside the Sexual Health department.
The only reason we might have to consider passing on confidential information without your permission would be to protect you or someone else from serious harm. We would always try to discuss this with you first.
We sometimes suggest that we inform your GP of ongoing treatment or conditions. We will only correspond with GPs or other hospital departments regarding matters relevant to ongoing care with the consent of the individual concerned.
