Confidentiality - Code of Practice

The Code proposes a model for providing a confidential service:

Protect - look after patients' information

Inform - ensure that patients are aware of how their information is used

Provide choice - allow patients to decide whether their information can be disclosed or used in particular ways

Improve - always look for better ways to protect, inform and provide choice

The Trust has agreed a Confidentiality Code of Conduct.

“Professional, friendly, caring, calm and clean!”
