You do not need to give us detailed health information through this website. A short description of the support you are looking for is enough for us to call you back. Please do not send medical records, diagnoses, or medication details through a web form.

We may share it with:

Every organisation that processes information on our behalf is bound by a written contract requiring them to keep it secure and to use it only on our instructions.

We do not routinely transfer personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where a supplier does so, we ensure appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law are in place.
