Accessing information

Information about your treatment and care will normally be something you will discuss with the healthcare professionals you come into contact with.

However there may be other information which you would like to obtain about you, your care, or Pennine Care, the organisation providing the care to you.

There are a number of ways you can access information held by Pennine Care:

• Under data protection law you are able to request a copy of any personal information we hold about you. This process is called Subject Access. Click here for more information about subject access, or contact the subject access team on pcn-tr.sar@nhs.net or 0161 716 3149 / 3959
• Under The Access to Health Records Act (1990) you can request health records relating to deceased patients. Read more information about your right to request information regarding deceased patients, or contact the subject access team.
