    \n
  1. We need to collect personal information about your health in order to provide you with the best possible treatment. Your request for treatment and our agreement to provide this constitutes a contract<\/strong>.\u200b You can, of course, refuse to provide the information but if you do, we would not be able to provide you with the treatment.<\/li>\n
  2. We have a \u2018\u200bLegitimate Interest<\/strong>\u2019\u200b in collecting the information because without it we could not do our job safely and effectively.<\/li>\n

  4. Provided we have your \u200bconsent<\/strong>,\u200b we may occasionally send you general health information in the form of articles, advice or newsletters. You may withdraw this consent at any time \u2013 just let us know by any convenient method.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We have a \u200blegal obligation<\/strong>\u200b to retain your records for 8 years after your most recent appointment (or aged 25 whichever is longer) but after this period you can ask us to delete your records if you wish. Otherwise we will retain your records indefinitely in order to provide you with the best possible care should you need to see us at some future date.<\/p>\n

    Your records are stored on paper and in locked filing cabinets.<\/p>\n

    We will never share your data with anyone who does not need access without your written consent. Only the following people will have routine access to your data:<\/p>\n
