Confidentiality and data protection

This branch covers responsibilities for personal health information, divided by the setting of its use: publication, clinical research and individual control of health data. It leaves public-release anonymisation to transparency and disclosure, participation consent to research ethics, confidential inputs to AI tools to artificial intelligence, writing samples to career development, and a freelance practice’s document handling to freelance business operations.

• Confidentiality and responsible publication — confidential information, consent and identification when telling a patient’s story
• Data protection in clinical research — GDPR scope, responsibilities, identifiability, lawful processing and workflow safeguards
• Human-centric control of health data — MyData principles, health applications, organisations and communication
