Confidentiality is a tricky concept in health care that can be difficult to understand, but it does not have to be. This book is a handy pocket-sized guide that clarifies the obligations that a health care practitioner has to their patient and the patient's personal information. It places confidentiality in the clinical setting and relates the principles of confidentiality to your practice.
From Caldicott Guardians to public interest, via Lasting Power of Attorney, it's full of practical detail about:
  • what confidentiality is and why it is important
  • what constitutes confidential information
  • when information can be shared
  • who information can be shared with
  • when information must be shared
  • Written by an experienced lecturer with input provided by current nursing students, this guidance is produced with you in mind – and you can carry it with you at all times!
