In practice
We collect the minimum information needed to assess and treat you safely, and to meet our legal record-keeping obligations. Records are held on secure systems with access limited to those who need it.
We will share information with a receiving hospital or ambulance service so that your care can continue safely. We will share information without your consent only where the law requires it, or where there is a serious risk to you or another person — for example a safeguarding concern.
You have rights over your personal data, including the right to ask for a copy of it. Our Data Protection Lead can be contacted at dpo@filmandeventsmedicalservices.com.
