Patients may require treatment for injuries related to Gunshot and Knife wounds. In certain circumstances, a GP may need to share information with the local Police Force in order to safeguard others. Wherever possible, patient consent will be obtained however, in limited circumstances, such as where gaining consent is impractical or if the public interest outweighs the patients’ rights, information may be shared without the patient’s knowledge.
