STFS does everything possible to maintain the confidentiality of its trainees. It also has a duty of care for the confidentiality of those who work at or for STFS. All staff have a personal responsibility to ensure the confidentiality of trainees and staff. Patient safety is, however, the overriding concern of all healthcare professionals and “those responsible for training have a responsibility to share information about trainees that is relevant to their development as a doctor…” (para 121, The New Doctor, GMC)
