General
Practice Data for Planning and Research (GPDPR)
The data held
in the GP medical records of patients is used to support health and care
planning and research in England, helping to find better treatments and improve
patient outcomes for everyone. NHS Digital has developed a new way to collect this
data, called the General Practice Data for Planning and Research data
collection.
The new data
collection reduces burden on GP practices, allowing doctors and other staff to
focus on patient care.
For further
information please click here.
To provide more
time to speak with patients, doctors, health charities and others, the
collection of GP data for Planning and Research in England has been deferred
from 1 July to 1 September 2021
If you would
like to Opt-out, please complete an Opt-out form which can be collected from
