Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi thanks for the answer but usually the information is shared with the insurance company only when the patient needs a health cover/insurance, so this doesnt make it a third party, this is in patient's interest isnt it? but sharing the patient's info with other doctors (who're not treating him) might be of no use to the patient, and this might come under sharing info for research purposes. Well thats my opinion. Please correct me (with explanation) if i am wrong. thankssid From: manochithradurairaju@...Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:15:10 +0000Subject: Re: RE: Consent Hi it is 1 u hav to get an explicit consent from any outside agency.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi According to any referral made or if there is any medical relevance the doctor has all rights according to law. But any company that has to access patients medical record has to have a signed document from the patient that they can access patients details.... Reference: NHS code of confidentiality.(I will try to upload the document once I get it in hand). Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 There is no doubt the consent is for insurers only, there is 'no best interest' clause here. Other doctors more important with 'pts best interest' as in emergencies when their own doctor is around they will have to look at pts notes and there is no need for consent for any health professional involved in that pts care, a typical eg: a physio looking at pts notes etc. My husband who writes a lot of reports says he will not write to anyone without pts written consent, that sometimes including relatives!
