Checking the quality of care – national clinical audits
Queensferry Medical Practice contributes to national clinical audits so that healthcare can be checked and reviewed.
- Information from medical records can help doctors and other healthcare workers measure and check the quality of care which is provided to you.
- The results of the checks or audits can show where your healthcare providers are doing well and where they need to improve.
- The results of the checks or audits are used to recommend improvements to patient care.
- The data will include information about you, such as your NHS Number and date of birth and information about your health which is recorded in coded form – for example the code for diabetes or high blood pressure.
- We will only share your information for national clinical audits or checking purposes when the law allows.
- You have the right to object to information being shared for national clinical audits. Please contact the practice if you wish to object.
