Skin Cancer Day Surgery also follows the principles of Open Disclosure. Open Disclosure is the process of open communication with the patient and/or their family or support person following an adverse or unexpected event that may or may not result in harm to the patient. Skin Cancer Day Surgery's policy in relation to open disclosure is any event:

• That health care provision does not go to plan, to ensure a patient's deterioration is recognised promptly, and appropriate action is taken to escalate care

• Involving a data breach that has the potential to cause harm
