Confidentiality: The Caldicott Report

Abstract

You will probably look at the title of this and want to move on to more interesting material, but do hang on for a little bit longer. You may already know about it, but there will be an impact on you and your department as a result of this initiative. Caldicott may just be one of the seminal moments in the development of the NHS; it does have impact and could develop the cause of patients' rights a little bit further. This is a very broad overview, but it does have some helpful hints.
