Adrian, Thanks so much for info. on the Exeter meeting- would value
speakers namesetc (any chance you could fax -0171 483 4541- or email the
notice of that meeting?
Apart from the acknowledged (except it still seems by HMG) dangers of
centralised vs distributed data bases, a quality standard of the
management of personal healthdata is that it shouldalways be effectively
de-identified BEFORE it leaves the unit or GP practice.
There are techniques whereby data can made be specific and linkable but
only identified by the treating clinician (or their designated team)
