We process your data purely for professional health-delivery reasons, including:

We implement advanced, hospital-grade physical, technical, and organizational security measures to protect your medical files against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. In accordance with NHS and professional pharmacy regulation standards, your clinical consultation records are kept secure for the legal minimum retention periods before being safely purged.

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, or withdraw consent for non-essential communications.
