Retention of Records
Post-employment health records managed with care and compliance.
Clinical Record Management – Ensuring Post-Employment Compliance & Confidentiality
Organisations have a legal obligation to securely store occupational health records for a defined period following an employee’s retirement or dismissal, in line with relevant UK regulations and data protection standards. We support businesses in maintaining compliant recordkeeping systems, ensuring clinical files are appropriately archived, access is restricted, and retention periods are tracked. Should a company request that these records be transferred to another clinical provider, this is carried out in strict compliance with GDPR and only with the informed consent of the employee. Once the required duration has passed, records are confidentially and securely destroyed. This process safeguards sensitive health information, fulfils regulatory duties, and upholds organisational integrity long after employment ends.
