Home Urinalysis Project & Privacy Policy

Posted on November 18th, 2024

On 25th November 2024, we will be offering our patients to conduct Home Urinalysis with an NHS Commissioned Partner Healthy.io

The data is being processed for the purpose of delivery of a programme to
monitor urine for indications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is
recommended to be undertaken annually for patients at risk of chronic kidney
disease e.g., patients living with diabetes. The programme enables patients to
test their kidney function from home. We will share your contact details with
Healthy.io to enable them to contact you and send you a test kit. This will help
identify patients, e.g. patients living with diabetes and help us agree any early
interventions that can be put in place for the benefit of your care. Healthy.io
will only use your data for the purposes of delivering their service to you. If you
do not wish to receive a home test kit from Healthy.io we will continue to
manage your care within the Practice. Healthy.io are required to hold data we
send them in line with retention periods outlined in the Records Management
code of Practice for Health and Social Care. Further information about this is
