they are allowed to pass the information on to another paramedic if needed and doctors etc but they are not allowed to discuss the case with any members of the public/ family/ friends etc and if they do they are breaking their code of practice , and confidentiality laws. If this happens they will be disciplined and possibly suspended/ struck off depending on the severity and damage done . Hope this helps :)Health Question & Answer
Everything of yours is confidential unless you are under 18.
They cannot, by law, tell any other person, even related to you about your case or what happened. They can tell about a case but not give away any clues like "he had brown hair, was 5'2, born January 12 1980" or your name.
Doctors/paramedics/counselors/whatever can be sued, fired, suspended... the list goes on.Health Question & Answer
