NHS Trust apologises after transgender woman's medical records are sent to another patient

NHS Trust apologises after transgender woman's medical records are sent to another patient An NHS Trust has apologised to a transgender woman whose medical records were sent to another patient by mistake.

Imperial College Trust admitted it had breached patient confidentiality after records belonging to Sarah Preece, a patient undergoing gender reassignment surgery, were placed in the wrong file.

Ms Preece only learned of the mistake when another patient wrote to inform her that she had received files containing highly sensitive information, including details of her surgery. The Daily Telegraph
