At The Life Rooms, we collect and use data in different ways such as attendance at our sites, feedback from our service users, and local population health information.
We now also gather NHS numbers that can tell us how people who use The Life Rooms also use any other health and social care services. Those accessing The Life Rooms have likely visited other health and wellbeing services, and gathering NHS numbers will help us understand this, track themes, and develop ways of preventing ill health and wellbeing.
Using NHS numbers will help us improve our services, support our communities, and make it easier for people to access mental and physical health support. It will help us further understand the care and support needs of our service users, as well as identifying those who are at risk of developing those needs so we can support with prevention.
We will always keep our service users' data safe and anonymous, and we won't share it with anyone else. We aren't looking at individual information, just at whole groups, so we won't see names or personal details.
