National Data Opt-out Blue Sky Medic Ltd is committed to respecting patient data rights under the https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/ program. Codara acts as a data processor on behalf of NHS trusts and other healthcare providers. We process confidential patient information solely to support the direct care of individual patients — assisting clinicians in documenting clinical procedures and generating structured operative notes that are returned to the trust's clinical record system. We do not use confidential patient information for any secondary purpose such as planning or analysis. Where patient data is used for research, it is fully anonymised in accordance with ICO standards prior to use — at which point it is no longer confidential patient information and is not subject to the National Data Opt-out. Should we ever intend to use confidential patient information for a secondary purpose, we will assess the National Data Opt-out implications and implement appropriate controls before doing so.
