Agree with Matt. Explicit can be verbal. This is about risk. If you want to
ensure there are no disputes about whether it was given, do it in writing.

I can't see why explicit consent couldn't be verbally given, but I'd agree that
lack of audit trail is unwise.

Oooooooooo I’d say that verbal consent wasn’t good enough – it has to be
explicit with anything to do with health so how is verbal good enough ?

Subject: [data-protection] Occupational Health Consent
Hi all,
Our occupational health provider obtains verbal consent from the patient at the
time of the appointment to have the patient's health report sent back to their
line manager and HR. While I can't find any guidance stating that explicit
consent must be written, this doesn't not seem to be good practice since we have
no proof that consent was obtained. We have an issue where the report was shared
and the patient is now saying that he didn't give consent.
How do your OH providers obtain consent to have medical reports shared with the
employer? Is verbal consent in this instance common practice?
Thanks!
