Introduction
The range of a Clinical photographers work is not restricted to patient photography but many other aspects including; Press and Public Relations work, medicolegal, operating theatre photography indeed anything required by an employer. As a consequence there are occasions when photographic requests may conflict with a photographer’s status as an employee or the work output may be classed as privileged.
For each of these this paper will cover the legal definition and a real life scenario of where ‘conflict of interest’ or ‘privilege’ can occur and discussion including examples from the literature or cases.
