    London Shredding

    How can we help with medical record shredding?

    A London-based doctor employed us for a regular, monthly service to remove and shred old documents. This was necessary to clear out old records while complying with GDPR, preserving patient confidentiality, and giving patients peace of mind their information was being handled appropriately. Upon request, we provided a smart lockable bin so that files could be securely stored prior to each monthly collection. Having the papers all in one place also reduced collection times down to just 10 minutes per visit. We transported the records to our site where we shredded them and provided a certificate of destruction in compliance with ISO 9001 for each monthly collection.

    Frequently asked medical record shredding questions

    Why should medical records be shredded?

    Medical records contain a lot of personal information that medical professionals are obligated to keep private. It is imperative that this information is completely destroyed once it is no longer needed to reduce the security risk and protect patient confidentiality.

    What medical records do you shred?

    We are qualified and able to shred any data. This includes personal documents, hospital records, paper copies, and digital storage devices like hard drives. Our shredder can also handle staples, plastic wallets, and lever arch folders, sparing you the hassle of separating these out.

    Do you provide proof that the records have been destroyed?

    Our team will provide you with a waste transfer note when we first remove the records from your site. Once everything is completely destroyed, we will send over a Certificate of Destruction that you can keep for your records.

    How is private data kept safe prior to shredding?

    We work to European standard BS EN15713 to ensure everything is stored and transported safely. Our sacks are available with security ties, they are transported in locked vehicles, and stored at our site in secure containers. We will ensure all records stay confidential before being destroyed within 24 hours.
