This privacy refresher presented by Angela Mason-Lynch from AVANT will cover some “real” examples of breaches of privacy, including:

• staff accessing records and using the information for a friend

• emails sent to the incorrect email address or an email address that was not approved

• mail sent with information about another patient being included
