For a further in-depth discussion on the ethical implications which may be faced in MI, refer to the Ethical Dilemmas section in the Medicines Learning Portal [external website].

Guidance is also available on Records Management and Copyright law specifically related to MI.

Guidance has also been provided regarding the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and how this affects MI. A separate document is also provided giving guidance on managing email lists.
