Privacy and media law: United Kingdom

As of 2026-10-05.

Medical confidentiality

Information a patient shares in confidence may not be disclosed without consent or another legal justification, a duty built up by the courts rather than set out in a statute [1]. Doctors, including those in private practice, must also follow GMC confidentiality guidance, and serious or persistent failure to follow it puts their registration at risk [2].

Health data

Under the UK GDPR, data about physical or mental health is "special category" data and may only be processed under one of the conditions in Article 9 [3]. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 keeps that protection and requires organisations to acknowledge data complaints within 30 days [4].

Photographs and harassment

There is no general image right, but misuse of private information is actionable. In Campbell v MGN, the House of Lords held (3 to 2) that publishing covert photographs of a model leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, with details of her treatment, was unlawful and restored her damages award [5][6]. Harassment can lead to damages and an injunction [7]. Scotland has its own harassment provisions, including non-harassment orders [8].

Stopping publication

Courts stop publication before trial only if the claimant is likely to win [9]. In PJS v News Group, the Supreme Court kept a privacy injunction in place even though the story was already online abroad, finding damages inadequate [10]. The Editors' Code that IPSO enforces protects physical and mental health (clause 2), bars persistent pursuit (clause 3) and restricts journalists in hospitals (clause 8), with public-interest exceptions [11].

What this means in practice

UK law offers strong remedies after a leak, and sometimes before publication, but it cannot stop someone taking a picture. How a clinic handles arrivals, residences and staff discipline matters as much as the law.
