Privacy Policy

The Victoria Sutton Clinic is understanding and complicit with the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) of 2018.

All patient data retained by the clinic is kept in written format, in a lockable filing cabinet and is done so with the patients understanding and agreement. No data is kept electronically.

Data is only kept relating to the patients’ medical history, treatment(s), name, age, address, phone number and any other notes pertinent to the medical condition(s) or issue(s) presented at the time of the visit to the clinic to plan the best course of treatment for each individual patient. A patient’s data is only ever used at the time of the patients visit to the clinic. Patient data will be updated and amended as necessary during the patients visit to the clinic. This new data will supersede and replace any data on the patient which no longer needs to be kept on record.

Records are only kept in line with legal requirements for record retention and / or a time required for the patients ongoing treatment.

Only the clinic controller and owner (Dr Victoria Sutton – Phone : 0773 6629474. Email : victoria.sutton1@icloud.com) has access to a patient’s data.

A patients data will never be used for marketing or general circulation outside the conditions mentioned above unless with the explicit written agreement of the patient first. As a consequence of this, patient data will never be misused or equally fall in to the wrong domain.

In the unforeseen event of a break or violation in clinic protocol of the patients data storage, the matter will be reported immediately to the clinic controller and will be actioned upon immediately and with complete disclosure and transparency between the clinic controller and the patient, until the matter is brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

As always, the Victoria Sutton Clinic would like to thank you very much for your kind support and welcomes any questions you have on this matter at any time.
