Q
What is the GMC’s guidance on confidentiality when a serious communicable disease is involved?
A
You may disclose information to a person who has close contact with a patient who has a serious communicable disease if you have reason to think that:
- the person is at risk of infection that is likely to result in serious harm
- the patient has not informed them and cannot be persuaded to do so.
