Data Protection

NHS Tayside has obligations under the Data Protection Act (DPA)(2018) as we need to collect and use a variety of sensitive and personal information about people in order to operate.

We use patient and carer data to support provision of care, administration of healthcare services, teaching and research. We rely upon personal information about employees, suppliers, and others we communicate with.

All such personal information must be dealt with properly and securely no matter how it is collected, recorded and used - whether on paper, in a computer system or recorded on other material.

The Data Protection Act 2018 gives you the statutory right of access (Subject Access Request) to any information, manual (paper) or computerised held by NHS Tayside.
