Records Shredding Service for Doctors, Clinics and Hospitals
It's imperative that confidential patient records and files are securely disposed of when no longer needed at the surgery, clinic, medical centre or hospital. If these records were to fall into the wrong hands (including name, address, date of birth, mother's maiden name, spouse, NI number etc) it could be used fraudulently, or to take advantage of the patient.
This threat of ID fraud doesn't just apply to patient records however. There are many items that contain confidential information, that need to be disposed of correctly.
This information can take the form of:
- patient records
- employee or staff records
- CCTV tapes and discs
- employee application forms
- uniforms
- ID cards
- security access cards and fobs
- medical equipment
- x-rays and photography
- medical assessments and patient notes
