Surely there are no confidentiality and consent issues if the patient
agrees to go? They are there sharing the info themselves. They obviously
will need to be told about the audience they would face but that's about
all surely. I guess the only problem will be if you approach the
patient, they refuse but also refuse permission for you to discuss their
case...
Good luck.
