Collecting Personal Information

As part of your employment with South Terrace Urology, you may receive or collect Personal Information about a patient; or an employee.

As part of our engagement process, we require our referrers to confirm that any Personal Information they provide to us in respect of another individual, has been lawfully obtained and may be provided to us. This confirmation should include an indemnity from the referer in our favour, if the receipt or collection of the Information is found to be unlawful.

If you become aware of information which has been collected unlawfully, you should immediately notify the Practice Manager who will arrange either consent from the individual concerned or the destruction of the personal information.

Where the provider of the information is unable to provide us verification that we require, we should, where possible, endeavour to obtain the consent of the individual of which the information pertains.

Where we have received Personal Information about an individual that we do not need to conduct our job, we should notify the Practice Manager and destroy such Personal Information.
