Common Law Duty of Confidentiality: Common Law is the law of precedent. It is not written down and relies on the application of the findings in previous Court cases decided by judges. The Common Law Duty of Confidentiality therefore means that it has been established that, when there is an expectation of confidentiality between two parties (when information is more than just trivial or unimportant), in this case between the Health Professional and the Patient that confidence will not generally be broken without the explicit consent of the patient. In practice all patient information, whether held on paper, computer, video or audio tape, or even when it is simply held in the memory of a Health Professional, must not normally be disclosed to a third party without the consent of the patient. Specified ‘Purpose’: The Data Protection Act stipulates that personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes.
