A protocol issued in December 2006 clarifies the role of, and facilitates access of detainees to, independent doctors. For example, it mandates that Detention Centre medical centres keep a standard form for detainees to use to authorise medical visits by an outside independent doctor of their choice, and that the independent doctor should have automatic access to complete medical notes (with the consent of detainee). This also has major implications for how medical visits are organised. Please read the further information before attempting to organise a medical visit - for the safety of all parties, this must be done by Maria the Medical Justice volunteer responsible for processing referrals or the doctor concerned. |
