Privacy notice
We work with other health and social care organisations to share information that will form part of your Shared Care Record (ShCR), also known as Collaborative Care Record (CCR).
The ShCR allows health and care professionals involved in your care to view your records. By viewing your records, professionals can understand your needs and make the best decisions with and for you.
Information we hold about you will be available to other health and care professionals to read only when they are involved in your health or social care.
This information sharing is subject to strict rules and safeguards about who sees your information and how it will be used.
If you do not want us to share your information in this way, you can exercise your right to object.
Be aware that this means none of your information can be shared with anyone. Before making this choice, speak with your social care worker, who will explain how this may affect you.
We will respect your choice, unless there are other safeguarding or legal reasons why we may have to share your information.
Our legal basis for using your information
Each partner organisation is responsible for the information it makes available, or views, through the CCR.
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 allows health and care organisations to use your information through the CCR to:
- provide health and social care
- protect someone’s vital interests in an emergency or life or death situation
- safeguard children and vulnerable adults
For more information on how your data is used on the ShCR and how to exercise your rights, see the full privacy notice on the Birmingham and Solihull Shared Care website.
Object or agree to your information being shared
You can record your objection through the Birmingham and Solihull Shared Care website.
You can also change your mind anytime, through the same process.
Read the Birmingham City Council privacy notice for more information about your rights.
You can also find out how to exercise your rights and how your data is used on the ShCR.
