We’d like to capture data from your Vital 5 Check to help us to support you better. If you consent during the check, the healthcare practitioner will share your results with your GP where that is possible (e.g. if you undertake the test in your non-home borough).

Anonymised data from this service will be used to:

• focus on funding services so they meet your needs and the needs of your community
• support improving healthcare so it works for all individuals in the community
• support evaluation of the Vital 5 Check pilot service

The pilot is jointly led by south east London Integrated Care System and King’s Health Partners Academic Health Science Centre. The data controller for your personal data will be the organisation who undertook your Vital 5 Check. You can access partner’s privacy notices below to find out how they store and manage your data. You should contact these organisations directly to access full transparency information and to exercise your rights in relation to your personal data processed under this programme:

• Mytime Active at One Bromley Health Hub (link to privacy notice)
• Community Pharmacy Health & Wellbeing Scheme (link to privacy notice)
• Southwark Public Health and Integrated Care Board (link to privacy notice)
• Guy’s and St Thomas’ & SEL Vaccination and Intervention Service (link to privacy notice)

Additional information

What personal data is collected

Data will only be captured and used if you have consented.

Where volunteered, demographic data about you including your name date of birth and post code and your ethnicity:

• Postcode
• Gender
• Age
• Date of birth (DoB)
• Sexual orientation
• Ethnicity
• Disability

Where volunteered, clinical data about your health and wellbeing such as your blood pressure reading and your smoking status:

• If you have previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure
• Blood pressure
• Smoking status
• If you have previously attended smoking cessation or support for substance abuse
• Alcohol use
• Mental health status
• If you have previously been supported by mental health services
• Body Mass Index score (BMI)
• If you accepted a referral to any service for additional support with any of the above areas

How your data is used

Where you request it, clinical data will be sent to the GP so it can be entered into your GP records (where the partner has the capability to do so).

Anonymised demographic and clinical data will be used to see how the Vital 5 Check service is performing and to improve it or similar services:

• To look at how it performs in different parts of south east London and across different demographic groups
• To highlight opportunities for improvement
• In the future, it will be used to track how it has made a difference to long-term health outcomes
• Inform development or targeting of existing or future health services
• Undertake evaluation of the Vital 5 Check programme. The evaluation is being led by an evaluation team at King’s College London. Partners will collate data from delivery sites and send the anonymised data to the evaluation team at King’s College London each month. This will include some demographic data and clinical data. Each setting will transfer anonymised data to the evaluation team at King’s College London via email in a comma separated file. Data will only be accessed by authorised members of the study team. All data will be stored on password protected folders on a secure server which logs when data has been accessed.

Future data processes

We are working to connect all data to GP records. When this is complete, the evaluation process will change, and data will be pulled from the SEL discovery service.
