Caldicott Guardian. A senior person responsible for protecting the confidentiality of patient and service user information and enabling appropriate information sharing by providing advice to professionals and staff. Data Subject: An individual to whom data information relates. Personal Data / Information: is defined within the Data Protection Act 1998 and means information which relate to a living individual who can be identified; Sensitive Personal Data / Information: Data that identifies a living individual consisting of information as to his or her: racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature, membership of a trade union, physical or mental health or condition, sexual life, convictions, legal proceedings against the individual or allegations of offences committed by the individual. 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.
