The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit keeps up-to-date information and reports about your progress. This information is kept at the nurses station so that only staff can read it. Because our service is multidisciplinary, and because more than one staff member may be involved in your rehabilitation, information about your care may be shared between team members.
This Unit is very careful in making sure that your personal information is kept private. Sometimes, people outside the Unit, such as other doctors or your solicitor, need to get copies of some reports so that they can help you. We always ask for permission from you to send out this information.
No information is released to another person or organisation without your permission. Sometimes we will ask you to sign a consent form before we send written information to other people. At other times, we will ask you for your verbal consent and then document this in the medical file.
