The conference theme explored access to patient-identifiable data. The increasing digitisation of citizen’s care data offers to greatly improve information sharing, and so the quality of clinical-decision among those professionals caring for the patient. But like all change it has a downside. It magnifies the risk of inappropriate access to patient-identifiable data in the name of service efficiency, research and the ‘public interest’. Where are the boundaries, and how do we ensure that those in charge of patient identifiable data respect them?
