Your right to receive confidential advice
You can talk to doctors, nurses and other health workers. They have a duty NOT to give out information about you without your consent, except in exceptional circumstances. This applies whatever your age. If you are under 16, doctors and other workers still have to keep what is said private. Sometimes, a health worker may decide that a patient is not mature enough to make decisions about their treatment, but the consultation must still be confidential.
In exceptional circumstances a health worker might decide they needed to disclose information about a patient to someone else. For example, a doctor might suspect their patient was being seriously hurt in some way. Even so, they would not normally pass on any information without first discussing it with their patient.
If your confidentiality is breached (which means the doctor or other health worker tells someone else without your permission), the worker may have to justify their decision to their professional body.
This means your GP won't tell your parents everything you tell them, even if your GP knows your parents.
Your school nurse must also keep information confidential, so she won't tell teachersor the head teacher anything about you.
