Am I allowed to keep case notes within my training portfolio or ePortfolio?
Patient identifiable information must not be used or disclosed for purposes other than the individual’s healthcare without the subject’s explicit consent. The NHS Code of Conduct on Confidentiality provides general guidance on how patient information should be handled. Most healthcare organisations have also produced local policies which must be adhered to. For training purposes, any patient identifying information must not be kept on paper on in an ePortfolio.
