NHS patient details on view in a car

[UnknownStuntm...]

So.

If someone were to walk past a car parked in publicly accessible car park shared by NHS staff and other businesses and that someone were to casually glance inside to see some patient details including name, address, NHS number, referring consultant etc just strewn around the inside of the car, what would someone do?

That, or call the Daily Mail.

Contemplate whether they do everything in their life and work perfectly?

move onto the next car and see if it has a nice Sat nav to steal.

That's pretty bad. I'd be fooking jumping if it was my address etc on view. I should imagine it's in breach of some regulation, maybe data protection?

Ideally, you'd report it to the hospital and they'd b0ll0ck the person responsible. . . . .in reality it's plainly run in a way where that kind of thing is acceptable and pointing it out will get you nowhere.

But if it was my identity details i'd want to know that anyone and everyone had access to them, so i'd have to do the same for someone else.

It's a breach of data protection, it's very much against NHS policy.

I am constantly telling clinicians and GP staffs to be more careful, they tear up prescriptions and throw them in the recycling instead of confidential waste and all sorts otherwise

Managers take it seriously. You could easily report it.
Noone in particular may get bollocked as they wont be able to blame anyone, the most that will happen is probably a reminder to all staff to be more careful.

Let the trust information control manager know, they'll need to report the data security breach and prepare for a fisting

actually if it wasnt for the foreign doctors, nurses, GP's and dentists there would be an even bigger problem.

these people who come over to this country and get registered are doing this country a great service by filling in some of that massive whole which is a shortage of qualified medical professionals.

and i've heard that they are also some of the best in their fields.

if i was going in for major surgery i wouldnt give a rats arse where they came from as long as they can do the job and do it well.

when i was like 7 i had appendicitis, had an african surgeon do the operation. barely have a scare, barely had any post surgical pain.

the guy literally saved my life, cut me open, lifted my appendix out and then it exploded over the OR.

the house call doctor, some English Caucasian dude, kept saying "keep giving him cold baths, its just a fever"

yeah a fever in my lower abdomen causing excruciating pain? i dont fucking think so.

my point is, dont mock the foreign medical professionals. they are here more for our benefit that their own.

and frankly im happy knowing that these professions are staffed as much as possible, regardless of their background.

That's a serious Data Protection breach. I'd take a note of the car registration number and probably something visible that proves the breach. Then I'd report it to both the local health authority and the ICO. I deal with this crap every day and there's no excuse. The person responsible needs a rocket up the arse as does the health authority.

I worked on the demolition of a large hospital, and in one area there were emptied-out filing cabinets of patient records strewn about the floor. This was in the days before computer records and data protection act. Complete records including names, addresses, photos, scans and x-rays of breast scanned patients just abandoned in the x-ray area when they cleared out the hospital and I guess one of the demo goons had thought it fun to spill them out to look at the photos of tits.

Completely disgusting way to treat the most personal of people's information and even more important nowadays to keep it secure.

The NHS do but it's the private clinicians that don't give any shits, like GP practices

From what i've seen anyway, the GP surgery is known for being shit, they were in the paper about 4 times
