Hi Again,
I have a query..
I manage a team of OHAs & we have admin support we also have a fitness
adviser as part of the team. Last week I 'caught' the fitness adviser
reading someone's OH records & spoke to him about confidentiality - he
seemed very confused and to be honest very put out as he 'had always had
access the records' & had been given them by a member of the admin team. I
spoke to him about medical confidentiality & access to medical records but
he still maintains he has 'the right' to view OH records I strongly
disagree - as I am resonsible for the information in the records where do I
stand?
He is not medically qualified but has a degree in fitness.
