TREATMENT PRIVACY

We store your digital information on our password protected record system.

If we receive anything on paper, the information will be entered into our system or scanned on. Once complete the paper copies will be shredded.

We collect this information to ensure we are carrying out safe, risk-assessed treatment. We may also use this information when contacting your General Practitioner, Consultant, Surgeon or other medical practitioner. We will always ask your permission before doing this.

Every so often, we may use your email address to send you offers or newsletters. These will always be relevant to our healthcare services and we only send information we believe to be beneficial to you. You will always have the option to unsubscribe from these emails.

Clinical Notes

We use a hosted system called TM3 to book appointments and store patients’ records.

TM3 have a dedicated infosec team to ensure all data of clients is protected to the highest possible level.  All data is stored in ISO27001 accredited, highly secure and monitored datacentres. Our data is hosted in the UK.

https://www.tm3practicemanagement.com

TM3 acts as our data processor, i.e. they store data only and have no decision making in changing or editing your data – JK Physio is the data controller.

As with form-based information, any medical notes completed by a practitioner from your appointment will be entered on to our password protected record system. No one will have access to these notes apart from a member of staff at JK Physio, and any medical persons given permission by you to access them.

This includes the reception team, your personal practitioner and all other practitioners. They cannot be accessed by anybody else. Paperwork awaiting entry onto our system is locked away securely until shredded. All computers and phones are locked away when the clinic is closed.

AI Listening Tool : Heidi

We may use an AI listening tool during assessment and treatment with your verbal consent.  The application used is Heidi, and the information taken is held outside of our hosted system TM3 and stores no personal data such as name, address, DOB etc. The formatted information is copied across into your records in TM3 following the assessment.  This technology helps streamline documentation and allows more focus on care and less on administrative tasks. For more information:

or email

Please note that we may, in some cases, need to disclose details provided by you to police/other enforcement agencies to assist with investigations when required to do so, by law.

We take every precaution to ensure that your personal information is safe and secure, and only used for its intended purpose as described in this policy.

Retention Policy

Medical records will be retained for at least eight years from the last treatment date for adults and up to the age of 25 years old for children (under 18) in order to meet professional healthcare record management guidance as set out by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. We may keep medical records for longer than 8years unless you ask us to destroy them, in which case, they will be destroyed immediately. Please contact us in writing/email to do so.

Marketing & Newsletters

Our ‘sign-up forms’, both electronic and physical, are designed to ensure the user understands that they are signing up to communications which will include news from JK Physio, and marketing campaigns. By signing up to the JK Physio Database, individuals are agreeing that we have a lawful basis for collecting and processing personal data. Unless otherwise instructed we will hold this information for ten years, at which point you may be contacted to reconfirm your subscription.

By the definitions of GDPR JK Physio is the ‘controller’ of your data, the organisation MailChimp is the ‘processor’ of your data. Subscribers personal details will be transferred to MailChimp, the applicable activities performed by MailChimp are: data collection through electronic sign up forms, storage of personal data in distribution lists and the transfer of personal data to certain of MailChimp’s sub-processors, who perform critical support for their services. Mailchimp’s servers and offices are located in the United States, so your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States. The legal ground for transferring personal data set out in the GDPR allows for an ‘adequacy decision’ – a decision by the European Commission that an adequate level of protection exists for personal data in the country, territory or organisation to which it is being transferred. A ‘Privacy Shield’ framework is one such example. MailChimp participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S Privacy Shield Framework. They are committed to subjecting all Personal Information received from European Union (EU) member countries and Switzerland, respectively, in reliance on each Privacy Shield Framework, to the Framework’s applicable Principles.
