The dilemma of truth disclosure: Stoke-on-Trent, England

Rodger Charlton, MB, MPhil, MRCGP

Primary Health Care at Keele University, Centre for Primary Health Care, Postgraduate Medical School, Stoke-on-Trent, England

Two case studies are used to demonstrate the continuing dilemma experienced by some doctors in the United Kingdom—whether or not to disclose to cancer patients their diagnosis. The two schools of thought concerning truth disclosure are discussed, together with the ethical implications and differences in views as a result of culture. Truth disclosure and associated communications skills are seen as an important area of medical education.
