What information we collect about you via the E-referral Portal

Your GP will provide us with personal and sensitive information about you when completing the electronic referral form.

This information is necessary in order to provide direct health care to you.

Personal information will include: -

• Your name
• Your address and post code
• Your telephone number
• Your date of birth
• Your NHS number

Sensitive or special categories of data will include: -

• Your gender
• Your ethnicity
• Your religion
• Your sexual orientation
• Your next of kin / parent / carer
• Your GP / school / other health professional involved in your care
• Your specific health data
• Diagnosis / problems that you are experiencing with your health
• Professional opinions on your current health status and future health care needs
• Information about risks / safeguarding concerns

 

How we collect information about you

Your GP will complete the electronic referral form via our E-referral portal.

All referrals will be received by the RISE Navigation Hub who will triage each referral.

 

How we use the information about you

We will use your information to assess your mental health needs and provide you with care, treatment, advice and support. All information we hold about you will form part of your health record.

The lawful basis for us using your information

The lawful basis for using your information is a ‘public task’. It is necessary for the Trust to use your information in order to provide you with direct health care.

• Patient ‘personal data’ is processed under Article 6 (1) (e) which states that “processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller”.
• Patient ‘sensitive data’ is processed under Article 9 (2) (h) which states that “processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services on the basis of Union or member State Law”.

This lawful basis means that your rights to ‘erasure’ and ‘portability’ do not apply.

 

Who we share your information with

Your information will be shared within the health care team providing you direct health care; that could be doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals providing you with care and treatment.

Authorised non health professionals will also have access to information about you as appropriate in order to manage your health records, write to invite you to appointments and generally manage your contacts with the Trust.

Information will be shared with your GP to ensure that there is one continuous record of the health care that you have received.

Information will be shared with your parent/carer as appropriate.

Information will be shared with others such as Social Care or the Police if we need to protect you or others from harm.

Information will be shared with the Police in relation to a serious crime. We will do this with your or your parent/carer consent unless doing so would hinder the investigation.

Information will be shared if we receive a court order which we are legally obliged to respond to.

Information transferred to your mental health record will be kept for 8 years after the last date of contact with the RISE service in accordance with the National Records Management Code of Practice.

 

How we protect your Information

The Trust has processes in place to ensure that information is handled in a secure manner at all times. This includes safe haven procedures, encryption software and authorised only access to clinical systems.

The E-referral portal is hosted on a secure website. The website is secured with an SSL certificate.

Information submitted to the E-referral portal is stored directly onto the Trust’s Secure Network which is certified to ISO 27001.
