Confidentiality: insurance and other reports

Part of our series on confidentiality, this standalone module only takes about 15 minutes to complete, and is aimed at primary care doctors who produce reports about patients for third parties, as well as practice managers or administrators who want to better understand the principles and process.

The content is also relevant for occupational and sports physicians, prison doctors, forensic medical examiners, doctors in the armed forces and doctors working for insurance companies.

By the end of this module you should:

understand the issues of confidentiality and consent when providing reports to third parties
know how to handle requests from patients to alter reports
know where to seek advice on specific cases.
