The practice takes the security of your information very seriously and therefore employs robust security measures in all its computerised systems. This web site, http://www.churchroadmcwirral.nhs.uk/, is operated by Wirral Health Informatics Service (WHIS). As a department of Wirral Hospital NHS Trust, WHIS is obliged to adhere to the Trust's "Code of Conduct for handling personal identifiable information" as well as other standards for the protection of information. This web site is therefore subject to those safeguards in addition to the Surgery's own standards for data protection.

This web site does not offer you facilities which involve you submitting any information across the internet apart from the e-mail facility at the end of this Privacy Statement. You should be aware that if you use that e-mail facility your message will not be sent with any particular extra security measures and therefore you may prefer not to include any information which you would want to remain private.

This web site does not use cookies. In order to monitor usage, our computer systems log the IP addresses of computers from which people visit the practice web site. These IP addresses are stored securely for a certain time and are accessible exclusively to authorized technical staff of WHIS. They are used as part of a set of data which produces reports about how much the site is used by the general public. IP addresses do not allow us to trace your identity. The most detail available to us from an IP address is the name of the Internet Service Provider which owns it.
