Abstract
Health practitioners are well versed in the need to maintain privacy and confidentiality of patients/clients in healthcare relationships. This need for confidentiality is likewise required when an employee of a healthcare institution becomes a patient of that institution. The question which arises is whether any information which emerges as a result of the employee also being a patient can or should be disclosed to the administration of the employing institution where such information may affect the employee or others in the workplace.
