• Health and medical information you share with us during consultation and treatment, including case history, symptoms and clinical notes
• Messages you send us through our website enquiry form

Our legal basis for processing

We process your contact details on the basis that it is necessary to provide the service you have requested. We process health information as it is necessary for the provision of healthcare, in line with our obligations as a regulated healthcare professional.

How we store and share your information

Appointment bookings and clinical records are held securely using Cliniko, a specialist practice management system used by healthcare providers. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share limited information with your GP or another healthcare professional if you ask us to, or if we believe it is necessary for your care, and only with your knowledge.

How long we keep your information

We retain clinical records for as long as required under professional and regulatory guidance for osteopaths. [Placeholder \xe2\x80\x94 to confirm and state the clinic’s specific retention period before publishing.]
