Date: 06/02/2024

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

In the second video in a set of 3, Dr Loke tackles some of the broad ethical and legal tensions that stem from seemingly conflicting duties owed by doctors towards their patients on the one hand and the law on the other, in situations where they must mandatorily report certain information about their patients.

Some legislative materials discussed in the lecture:
1. Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (https://sso.agc.gov.sg//Act/PDPA2012)
2. Singapore Medical Council, _Ethical Code and Ethical Guidelines_ (2016 version), accessible at https://www.healthprofessionals.gov.sg/smc/guidelines/smc-ethical-code-and-ethical-guidelines-(2002-and-2016-editions)-and-handbook-on-medical-ethics-(2016-edition)
