Whistle Blowing and Confidentiality in the Healthcare Professions
Number of pages:
29
ABSTRACT:
This 29 page paper examines the relative issues that affect health care professionals pertaining to whistleblowing with regard to confidentiality and the breach of the UK law. The paper conducts an in-depth literature review including examining the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 and relevant legislation and cases concerning confidentiality. The paper then determines a methodology for primary research in how these potentially conflicting aspects of law are reconciled by healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, and suggests a questionnaire which could be used to conduct primary research. The bibliography cites 22 sources.
