Sensitivity Flag

These are patient records for people whose personal details require extra protection from unauthorised access. The PDS will only display the patient’s name, sex, date of birth and death. Local procedures should be followed for dealing with sensitive records. You must have the appropriate RBAC rights to view sensitive records.

If a Sensitivity flag is returned and there are differences between the local and national record, you will see a truncated "Please resolve the PDS/Vision mismatches" screen (see below). You will not be shown the address, telephone or primary care details that are recorded on the PDS. Any changes you make will update Vision locally but will not update the PDS.
