PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to share relevant information with consenting parents

Wider context from the report

“At relevant times Ms Bailey did have mental capacity and was in agreement with information being shared with her parents. Reference was made to the Care Engagement Charter promulgated by the Trust. Despite this it appears that there was a significant lack in relevant information being shared with Ms Bailey’s parents. While this may not have necessarily have prevented the death it could have assisted in the treatment path and certainly may be relevant in other cases. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

No recurring-concern membership is currently published.

PFD Monitor interpretation

Patient confidentiality and her expressed wish not to share all information limited the extent of family involvement.

Verbatim wording from the response

“We have considered carefully the difference between confidentiality whilst a patient has capacity versus the engagement of families or carers where the patient has declined for their information to be shared. We acknowledge that as a Trust we need to ensure all our staff are actively embedding family involvement within their daily practice whilst maintaining confidentiality. Whilst carer / family involvement (including gaining informed consent to share information with families) is written into all of our Standard Operating Procedures for assessment, we have identified that clear guidance and advice in engaging with families where the patient has declined for information to be shared is required.”
