General
Practice Data for Planning and Research (GPDPR)
The data held
in the GP medical records of patients is used to support health and care
planning and research in England, helping to find better treatments and improve
patient outcomes for everyone. NHS Digital has developed a new way to collect this
data, called the General Practice Data for Planning and Research data
collection.
The new data
collection reduces burden on GP practices, allowing doctors and other staff to
focus on patient care.

If you would like to Opt-out, please complete an Opt-out form which can be collected from outside the surgery, or click here to complete an Opt-out form and forward this to the surgery.
To provide more time
to speak with patients, doctors, health charities and others, the

deferred.
