Linkage with routinely collected data
You have the option to consent to the data you contribute online to be linked with routinely collected healthcare data. You don’t have to check yes to this if you don’t want to, and we are not able to link your data without your consent.
In order to make the link with routinely collected data we need a few extra details from you (address and date of birth). These are used only for the purpose of making the link with your anonymised data. Any personal details will only be used for this purpose. We will never contact you at your home address. These details are separated from your healthcare data and any data you give us online. This means that even our researchers are not able to identify you.
