Doctors/medics/therapistsHandle your client’s privacy with careGPs in addition to health and safety doctors, specialists, paramedics, physiotherapists and homeopaths all need to maintain patient confidentiality. Research has shown that in many instances conversations in consultation rooms can be heard in the waiting room. Sound in these situations – in particular speech – would need to be masked. In this way it would be impossible to overhear what your neighbour’s daughter is discussing with her GP. Or, which medicines the neighbour takes. Privacy is a prized commodity, one which we should handle with care. |
