  • The nature of confidentiality.I. E. Thompson - 1979 - Journal of Medical Ethics 5 (2):57-64.

The three values implicit in confidentiality would seem to be privacy, confidence and secrecy. Each of these values is (...)

  • HIV infection and AIDS: the ethics of medical confidentiality.K. M. Boyd - 1992 - Journal of Medical Ethics 18 (4):173-179.
    An Institute of Medical Ethics working party argues that an ethically desirable relationship of mutual empowerment between patient and clinician is more likely to be achieved if patients understand the ground rules of medical confidentiality. It identifies and illustrates ambiguities in the General Medical Council's guidance on AIDS and confidentiality, and relates this to the practice of different doctors and specialties. Matters might be clarified, it suggests, by identifying moral factors which tend to recur in medical decisions about maintaining or (...)
