Such information includes the patient or client’s personal details and the name of the care setting or care provider.. A confidentiality statement must be included in your introduction section.

Tips on how to Conceal Identifying Information 

Markers sometimes find it difficult to judge whether identifying information has been retained in assignments or whether pseudonyms have been used. To avoid any confusion you are advised to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Include a statement at the beginning of the assignment explaining that you will be using fictitious names and addresses
• Use role titles and, if necessary, fictitious names when referring to colleagues within your place of work eg Staff Nurse Green
• If it is relevant to the assignment to provide some information concerning your place of work, give only broad details e.g. a medical ward in a large city hospital, a community mental health team in a rural area, a regional neonatal unit.
• The source of information which is publicly available should be acknowledged eg Trust policies accessed from the internet (not intranet)
• Identifying documents which are not in the public domain or which contain information which could compromise the anonymity of patients or practice areas should not be used unless identifying information is obscured eg policies only available on an organisation’s intranet site or a copy of a patient’s care plan
• Before submission check your work, including all appendices, to ensure you have maintained confidentiality and have not included any information which could lead to a clinical area, patient or member of staff being identified from what you have written.
