Next up in our CENTRES series of modules in Clinical Ethics beyond more commonly debated themes, Dr Peter Loke, Academic Associate of the NUS Centre for Biomedical Ethics, discusses "Reporting Requirements".

In the previous videos in this module, we discussed how mandatory reporting requirements can create serious conflicts in duties owed by healthcare professionals towards patients, particularly by initiating breaches in confidentiality. This final video highlights maintaining patient confidentiality as the cornerstone of professional practice, and explores how these difficult conflicts can be better navigated.
