Privacy statement
We're committed to the privacy of individuals using this website. This statement sets out the privacy practices for the King’s Health Partners website. It applies solely to this website.
Some of the forms on our website collect personal information from you. We're asking you to 'opt-in' before giving us any personal details. This is due to a change to the rules which govern how we can communicate with you and a new regulation on personal data (the General Data Protection Regulation) coming into force. Therefore the new approach relies on you giving us your consent before sharing any personal details with us.
Any information you do submit will be kept in the strictest confidence and will never be passed on to a third party, unless there is a legal obligation to do so.
Our website uses cookies to help us monitor site usage, for example: pages looked at and the type of browser used. Cookies are not used to identify you as an individual.
For more information about accessing health records or freedom of information requests, please contact the relevant Trust where your care is delivered.
