Information sharing between private healthcare services and NHS England

The guidance on information sharing is aimed at patients, service users, healthcare workers and information governance professionals at private hospitals, hospices, clinics, care homes and dental practices which are run independently of the NHS in England.

They may be run by a commercial company, a charity or another non-profit organisation. This guidance may also be helpful to NHS organisations who have private patient units.
