NHS Track & Trace. NHS Test and Trace is a key part of the UK’s ongoing COVID-19 response. To support this service, we need to keep a record of our staff, customers and visitors for a minimum of 21 days and to assist NHS Test and Trace with requests for that data if needed. This could help contain clusters or outbreaks. If required, we will share the following information with NHS Test and Trace, either if we already collect this information for ordinary business purposes or if we collect it when you attend our premises: name (If there is more than one person, the name of the ‘lead member’ and the number of people in the group), contact phone number, date, arrival time and, where possible, departure time. The Legislation allows us to process this information from our staff, customers and visitors and share it with NHS Test and Trace to help minimise the transmission of COVID-19 and support public health and safety. Where personal data is collected specifically for NHS Test and Trace, it will not be used for any other purposes (e.g. marketing) and we will hold it for no longer than is necessary. All personal data captured will be held securely, with restricted access. If you would like to know more, please ask a member of staff for assistance.
