Hampstead Group Practice

We are committed to providing safe, caring and effective NHS general practice services to all of our patients. We champion the core values of the NHS Constitution. We seek to involve our patients in decisions regarding their treatment and referrals and to help them manage their health and wellbeing as effectively as possible. We are committed to working with colleagues in multi-disciplinary teams and with the wider community to ensure that we are able to provide the best possible care. 

We actively support medical education and research. As a training practice, HGP provides a supportive learning environment for the education and supervision of healthcare professionals at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. In addition, we are involved in a wide range of education and major research programmes. 

Patient data from GP medical records kept by GP practices in England is used every day to improve health, care and services through planning and research, helping to find better treatments and improve patient care. The NHS is introducing an improved way to share this information - called the General Practice Data for Planning and Research data collection.  NHS Digital has been directed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to collect and analyse data from GP practices for health and social care purposes including policy, planning, commissioning, public health and research purposes. 

If you DO NOT want your identifiable patient data (which will be pseudonymised) to be shared for purposes except for your own care, 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 on the link below

Type 1 Opt Out:

The collection of data will start on 1st September, 2021 so if you DO NOT want your data to be shared with NHS Digital please complete the Type 1 Opt Out Form and forward it to the Practice by 1st September, 2021.

Paper forms are available at the Practice if you do not have access to a computer to process your request on-line.
