Your patient information
Keeping your confidence - how the NHS keeps and holds patient information
The professionals caring for you keep records about your care and treatment. These help ensure that you receive the best possible care from us. They may be written (manual records), or held on a computer (electronic records).
NHS North of Tyne - the management organisation which works on behalf of North Tyneside Primary Care Trust, Newcastle PCT and Northumberland Care Trust has produced a leaflet to explain why information is collected about you and the ways in which this information may be used.
