This 2.5 hour course will explore what is expected of doctors in relation to confidentiality and highlight the common and emerging risks.
In particular, topics to be explored include:
- Do you know how to respond to parents inquiring about information in a child’s records?
- When is it appropriate to breach a patients confidence in the public interest?
- With which other healthcare professionals is it appropriate to share patient information, and how much, and are there exceptions?
- What do doctors need to be aware of when patients access some or all of their health records remotely
- In what circumstances can family members request access to their deceased relatives records?
- What do doctors need to do on becoming aware of a data breach in their organisation?
Through the use of anonymised case examples and group discussion, delegates will gain a better understanding of how to mitigate the regulatory and legal risks associated with organisational processes, the sharing and disclosing of patient information and new ways of working as remote consulting.
Upon completion, a certificate detailing 2.5 hours of verifiable CPD will be provided by MDDUS to all attendees.
