6. Consent as distinct from IPR Defined by the principles in the Data Protection Act 1998 and Human Rights Act 1998 Recognises the need for more sophisticated management of consent for recordings of people (stills, videos, audios, etc.) – Teachers (academics, clinicians, practice/work based learning tutors, etc.) – Students and ‘product placement’ (branded items) – Role players/actors/performers/hired help (including recording crew) – Patients/patient families/care workers/support staff/members of public in healthcare settings (sensitive personal data) – GMC review of the guidelines for consent/patient recordings www.medev.ac.uk

7. Consent as distinct from IPR Proposing a “Consent Commons” – A human subject version of Creative Commons – Accepts a basic human right to refuse their image/voice appearing and, where they have previously consented, their right to withdraw their consent – Would work like Creative Commons in that you hallmark material with the consent status and when consent needs to be reviewed (if ever) – Has levels of release (e.g. Closed; ‘medic restrict’; review [date]; fully open) – Terms of the consent needs to be stored with/near the resource www.medev.ac.uk
