Appendix 1 - Audit trail data

This data is required as part of a GP Connect message (a GP Connect message is part of the functionality that allows GP Connect to work). It may be used within Provider or Consumer systems to validate messages and populate audit trails.

How this information manifests within audit trails is dependent upon the type of Consumer or Provider system used.

If patients wish for more information about how their data has been shared using GP Connect, they may need to contact both their GP practice and the organisation their data was shared with.
