General Practice Data for Planning and Research

Dear patient,
We have been asked to share the following important information with you.
This practice is supporting vital health and care planning and research by sharing your data with NHS Digital. For more information about this see the GP Practice Privacy Notice for General Practice Data for Planning and Research.

https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/data-collections-and-data-sets/data-collections/general-practice-data-for-planning-and-research

This collection will now start on 1st September 2021
If you do not want your data to be shared with NHS Digital please register your Type 1 Opt-out with your GP practice by mid-August 2021..

What data is shared:
Data may be shared from the GP medical records about:

  • any living patient registered at a GP practice in England when the collection started - this includes children and adults
  • any patient who died after 1 July 2021, and was previously registered at a GP practice in England when the data collection started

NHS Digital will not collect patients' names or addresses. Any other data that could directly identify patients (such as NHS Number, date of birth, full postcode) is replaced with unique codes which are produced by de-identification software before the data is shared with NHS Digital.
This process is called pseudonymisation and means that patients will not be identified directly in the data. NHS Digital will be able to use the software to convert the unique codes back to data that could directly identify patients in certain circumstances, and where there is a valid legal reason.
If you would prefer that your identifiable patient data is only shared for your own health care purposes, you can opt-out by registering a Type 1 Opt-out or a National Data Opt-out, or both.
These opt-outs are different and they are explained in more detail below. Your individual care will not be affected if you opt-out using either option (or both).
A Type 1 opt out has to be registered by your Practice; please let us know if you want to register a type 1 opt out. Download form and email to burfordsurgery.reception@nhs.net
A National Opt out can be done without contacting your practice, at https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/

Message from Dr Willby

I have taken the very difficult decision to retire from General Practice at the end of this year. This is for personal reasons. My elderly parents are needing much more of my time than I can give currently and I have two grandchildren to help look after as well. It has been an honour and a privilege to be a GP at Burford Surgery for the last 27 years. I have been lucky enough to work with the best team of staff and have met the most rewarding patients. I would like to thank you all and am very confident that the patient care will continue to be the main priority of the doctors and all the staff here. The past year has been the most challenging time to be a GP in those 27 years and I am very proud of the hard work and level of care that the team have given and continue to give. I wish you all the best of health for the future.

Information about training at Burford Surgery

Burford Surgery is approved for the post graduate training of doctors in their specialist training for General Practice. Dr Albert is an approved postgraduate GP trainer in the Oxford Deanery. Many surgeries in Oxfordshire are involved in training future doctors. We see this as a really positive thing. Not only is it great to be involved in helping learners but it also keeps us all on our toes as we are constantly asked 'why'! As a patient you may be offered an appointment with one of the learner doctors but you are under no pressure to do so. Earlier in their training you are likely to be offered a much longer appointment than usual. We are regularly inspected to keep our approval by the Oxford Deanery.
