Our Commitment to Good Practice

DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT UPDATED TO COMPLY WITH GDPR

The Student Health Department has updated its Data Privacy Statement to comply with the requirements of GDPR. You can download it here GDPRPRIVACYSTATEMENT

The introduction of  new General Data Protection Regulations is an opportunity for all those involved in providing care to you to confirm their commitment to the highest standards of practice with regard to how we collect, store, use, and make accessible to you, all your personal health data.

Respecting Your Medical Records

The UCC Student Health Department is a trusted community governed by an ethic of privacy and confidentiality. In order to provide for your care, we need to collect and keep information about you and your health in your personal medical record. Our policies are consistent with the Medical Council guidelines and the privacy principles of the Data Protection Regulations. This practice has voluntarily adopted the requirements of ‘Processing of Patient Personal Data: A Guideline for General Practitioners’.

For further details please ask at reception for a copy of our Practice Privacy Statement or access the Guideline at http://www.icgp.ie/data
