Fair Processing and GDPR
The health system in East London is necessarily complex in order for us to provide the full range of services and treatments for our patients. In this area, patient data is often shared across the Health Information Exchange (HIE)/East London Patient Record. This enables information to be exchanged between local health and social care organisations. The Health Information Exchange is also constructing a data depository called Discovery which will be used by these organisations for the evaluation of present local services and the strategic planning of future ones
Here is the link to the fair processing statement, including the Privacy Impact Assessments that governs this wider system
