What about patient consent? |
 |
- Section 15 of The National Health Act 61 of 2003 states that no information
of a patient may be disclosed unless the patient has consented in writing,
or a court has ordered such disclosure, or a law requires it, or where nondisclosure
represents a serious threat to public health.
- Aggregated information being used for the IBD research project will be
depersonalised to comply with the relevant sections of the act.
- Patient consent forms are available online (copy included in your pack).
We strongly recommend that all Doctors participating in the IBD research
project complete and store a form for every patient.
