Medical Records
We use a cloud-based medical records programme called Writeupp for all our notes. Writeupp has high-level encryption and is fully compliant with all of the relevant legislation.
It is a legal requirement that medical records are kept after your treatment has finished. This can vary but is typically for a minimum of 7 years. Please note that your right to be forgotten cannot override the legal requirements to keep medical records for the mandatory period.
Any paper notes, rehab programmes or other written information relating to your treatment is kept in a secure and locked manner on site as legally required.
