Consent and anonymisation

Teaching from real operations, with privacy in mind

The Academy course outline sets out four standards for the operative video library.

Library standards

These are requirements for the forthcoming operative library. The current public site contains course and operation outlines; it does not host patient footage or provide membership playback.

Anonymised at source

No patient identifiers should appear in any frame, title, cholangiogram or chapter note.

Consent documented

Educational-use consent must be recorded for every operation before it enters the library.

Domain-restricted playback

Operative video is intended to play only when embedded on this site, with downloads disabled.

Access can be revoked

Membership is intended to control who sees the operative footage, with access ending when it lapses.
