If you’re happy for your records to be available within One Health and Care to health and social care professionals, you don’t need to do anything. Alternatively, if you wish to object, you need to contact your GP Practice who will be able to help you.
Objecting to your records being included in One Health and Care is different to the National Data Opt Out. The purpose of One Health and Care is for your direct care purposes. The National Data Opt Out refers to using patient data for purposes beyond their individual care and treatment – specifically for research and planning across the NHS.
