Online Patient Survey Privacy Policy
We take your privacy very seriously…
Melbourne Shoulder Group collect health information related to how your shoulder and/or neck feels (pain, range of motion, strength, overall function) to monitor and improve the quality of your care. We do this with a detailed physical assessment of your shoulder and/or neck in the clinic as well as using online questionnaires.

We only use your personal information for standard care practises (for example, contacting your GP about your condition) or if we need to contact you about this questionnaire, and never for marketing purposes. Microsoft 365 Dynamics Customer Voice does not sell your personal information to third parties.
