On formal request by the patient, we will transfer a summary or a copy of the patient health record to the patient, another medical practitioner, health service provider or health service.

1. We record the request by the patient to transfer patient health information on the file. This note includes details of where the information was sent and who authorised the transfer
2. If we collect de-identifed patient health information for QA&CPD activities, we only transfer it to a third party if we have approval to do so from a recognised medical college's QA&CPD process
3. Any electronic data transmission of patient health information over a public network is encrypted
