BACKGROUND:Medical practitioners are often caught between a patient who is reluctant to provide their employer with personal health information and an employer who is requesting more detailed health information. OBJECTIVE:This article outlines the rights and responsibilities of employees and employers with regards to the provision of personal health information within employment, and how medical practitioners can assist in advocating for their patient. Topics covered include legal requirements for medical certificates; when certificates can be questioned by an employer; and whether employers can request additional health information from a general practitioner (GP) or independent specialist. DISCUSSION:In many cases, employers have the right to seek further health information from their employees (eg for health and safety obligations), and employees can face disciplinary action and even dismissal if they are uncooperative. As GPs are necessarily involved in the pro-vision of this information, it is important that they have a general understanding of employment law as it relates to the provision of a patient's personal health information to employers.

背景:从业人员经常被困在不愿向其雇主提供个人健康信息的患者与要求更详细的健康信息的雇主之间。
目的:本文概述了雇员和雇主在就业中提供个人健康信息方面的权利和责任,以及从业医生如何协助倡导其患者。涵盖的主题包括医疗证明的法律要求;雇主可以质疑证书的时间;以及雇主是否可以要求全科医生(GP)或独立专家提供其他健康信息。
讨论:在许多情况下,雇主有权向其雇员寻求进一步的健康信息(例如,出于健康和安全义务),如果雇员不合作,他们可能会受到纪律处分,甚至被解雇。由于全科医生必须参与提供此信息,因此重要的是,他们必须对雇佣法有一个普遍的了解,因为它与向雇主提供患者的个人健康信息有关。
