The College has produced a number of resources relating to privacy and the management of health information, including the Handbook for the Management of Health Information in Private Medical Practice. The Handbook was produced in conjunction with the Committee of Presidents of Medical Colleges and is applicable to all privately practicing medical practitioners.
