What about Confidentiality?

 

 



The OH service is required to work within the ethical and legal constraints of the healthcare profession and as such, confidentiality is taken very seriously.

All medical records are held separately from other records kept within the University and are only seen by OH staff. Information of a medical condition may only be disclosed to another party with your consent.

Following a referral to OH, the referring manager and Human Resources Manager will be advised regarding your fitness for your role and of the effect your medical condition may have on your ability to perform you work duties. You will be informed of what will be written in this report and receive a copy of it.
