Patients may, at times, be asked to consider sending a photographic image to the practice, via email, in order to assist the clinician dealing with their medical condition.  Examples of such photographs may be a rash on an arm or a deteriorating leg ulcer.

It is important that patients are aware of the processes involved regarding the sending of an image to the practice.

Please be assured that any image received by the practice is handled in line with GDPR and our practice policy on confidentiality.  Our generic email can only be accessed by authorised staff and your medical records can only be viewed by authorised staff when there is a reasonable reason to do so.

Patients should only email photographs if the GP or nurse have requested to do so.  

The below email address must not be used for any other form of communication with the practice other than if you have been requested to send a photograph into the practice.
