Patient Confidentiality

Capio Nightingale Hospital’s Therapy service is confidential and staff will not disclose/reveal personal information about clients to anyone outside of the service without requesting your consent beforehand. However, subject to the following exceptions there may be occasions where it may be appropriate to do so:

• Where the member of staff has the express consent to disclose the information or data to a third party
• Where the member of staff would be liable to civil or criminal court proceedings if the information was not disclosed. In such circumstances consent to disclose the information will be obtained if at all  possible
• If the member of staff has sufficient concern to determine that the client is at risk - either from their own actions or from the actions of others
• If there is sufficient concern for the wellbeing of the patient
• Where others may be at risk
