JISC Digital Media has recently set up a website offering advice on legal, ethical and other issues relating to making and using clinical healthcare recordings for learning and teaching. The principles and related guidance materials were developed by the British Medical Recordings Task Force, a collaboration of cross-sector organisations, to encourage shared understandings across clinical and educational settings about good practice for the creation and use of medical recordings for educational purposes. Advice is given on patient consent, copyright and licensing, storing, access, and use and reuse of clinical images, videos and other recordings by outside institutions.

A podcast explains the issues that professionals face when using recordings and how the new guidance can help.
