1. Prescriptions dispensed in the pharmacy

In order to provide the highest quality healthcare service, we need to keep records about your health and the care we have provided or plan to provide to you.

Information recorded

As part of providing a professional, safe and efficient service, there is certain information that we record. This includes details of drugs and appliances dispensed against NHS and private prescriptions as well as significant advice given, and referrals made to other health professionals and any other relevant information. Such information may include:

• basic details about you, such as name, address, date of birth, next of kin;

• records of medicines you have been prescribed by your doctor or another qualified prescriber, and which have been supplied by this pharmacy;

• details of medicines purchased from the pharmacy without a prescription such as over the counter medicines (“OTC”);

• other details and notes about your health and medical treatment;

• information relevant to your continued care from other people who care for you and know you well, such as other health professionals (prescribers’ name, address and registration number) and relatives;

• signatures for the collection of Controlled Drugs; and

• any other services we provide to you, for example, a flu vaccination.

Processing Information

We process your personal data, which includes information from your prescriptions and any other pharmacy and health care services we provide to you (including flu vaccinations) for the purposes of:

Your care – providing pharmacy services and care to you and, as appropriate, sharing your information with your GP or prescriber, and others in the wider NHS or prescriber clinic;

Our payments – sharing your information with the NHS Business Services Authority, others in the wider NHS, and sometimes Local Authorities, and only limited information to those external to the NHS who negotiate and check the accuracy of our payments and any exemptions;

Management – sharing only limited information with our accounts team regarding prescriptions which are placed on Wigmore Medical accounts; with the NHS Business Services Authority and others in the wider NHS, and sometimes Local Authorities; as well as those external to the NHS who ensure we maintain appropriate professional and service standards and that your declarations and ours are accurate such as the GPhC for compliance and enforcement purposes; and

Our Suppliers - we may on occasion have to submit redacted prescriptions to our suppliers to access restricted supply medications. Information supplied will only include the prescriber details and the medication; no patient details.

We hold your Personal Data on a secure PMR system for as long as advised by the NHS. We hold repeat prescriptions securely on the premises until they are fulfilled. Paper copies of NHS prescriptions are sent to the NHS at the end of the month that they have been dispensed. Paper copies of private prescriptions are securely archived for two years, as recommended by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, before being securely destroyed. Destruction records are retained.

Sometimes prescriptions will be sent directly from your GP to the pharmacy under the NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). EPS is reliable, secure and confidential. Your electronic prescription will be seen by the same people in GP practices, pharmacies, and NHS prescription payment and fraud agencies that see your paper prescription now.

We process your Special Category Personal Data in the performance of a task in the public interest and/or for the provision of healthcare and treatment, and to comply with our legal obligations. A pharmacist is responsible for the confidentiality of your information.

All of our staff contracts of employment contain a requirement to keep patient information confidential. All staff that deal with Personal Data with regards to prescriptions, OTC medicines or work in the pharmacy are also trained in and must comply with the NHS Code of Practice on Confidential Information. In addition, pharmacists have a requirement under their professional standards to keep records about you confidential, secure and accurate.

Our guiding principle is that we process your records in strict confidence.

You have the right to ask for a copy of all pharmacy records about you (generally in paper or electronic form).

Generally, there will be no charge for a printed copy of the information we hold about you. We are required to respond to your request within one month. You will need to give adequate information in order for pharmacy staff to identify you (for example, full name, address and date of birth). You will be required to provide ID, for example a passport, full driving licence or credit/debit card before any information is released to you.

If you think any information we hold on you is inaccurate or incorrect, please let us know.

You may object to us holding your information. If you have any further queries about this policy, or wish to find out more about your rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer at DPO@Wigmoremedical.com
