Appointments with your GP are confidential. Doctors and nurses have very strict rules on confidentiality so that everything you tell us is kept completely private. Your private information is always securely stored in our secure database, Medtech Evolution. Your medical records and notes are confidential. Certain agencies may request relevant notes but always with your consent (see below). If you have any questions about the privacy of your information please contact our practice manager, our nurse or doctor.
We are a Foundation accredited provider. Foundation Standard represents a collection of legislative, regulatory and clinical requirements for general practice in New Zealand. It represents a nationally consistent benchmark by which a practice can measure its current quality of care and progress toward health equity outcomes. Our privacy and data security policies are vital parts of the accreditation process.
