Health For Young People

Confidentiality - here to listen, not to tell

We provide a confidential service to all our patients, including under 16s.  You can be sure that anything you discuss with any member of this practice (clinicians, receptionists & administrators) will remain confidential.

Even if you are under 16, nothing will be said to parents, family members, care workers or teachers without your permission.  The only reason we may have to pass on confidential information would be to protect you or someone else from serious harm but we would always try to discuss this with you first.

If you are being treated elsewhere, it is best to allow them to inform Parkside of any treatment you are receiving.

If you want to talk to a Doctor or Nurse, please contact us - we are here for you.
