Who is collecting the data?
The School Aged Immunisation Service at Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) is collecting information about your child to ensure we have up-to-date health information about their health at the time you are consenting for them to receive an immunisation. Their demographic information is used to ensure we identify their electronic health record accurately.
What data is being collected?
We ask for basic demographic data to allow us to identify them and their health record. The information about their health is utilised by the nurses to ensure that they can confirm that the immunisation is suitable for them.
