The Patient Photo Consent Form is a crucial document used in Belgian healthcare settings when medical photographs need to be taken for clinical documentation, treatment planning, or educational purposes. This document is required whenever healthcare providers need to capture, store, or use photographic images of patients, ensuring compliance with GDPR, the Belgian Privacy Act of 2018, and the Belgian Patient Rights Act of 2002. The form must be obtained before any medical photography takes place and should clearly outline the specific purposes, storage methods, and potential uses of the photographs. It includes provisions for various use scenarios, from clinical documentation to potential educational or research applications, while emphasizing the patient's right to withdraw consent. The document is particularly important in specialties where visual documentation is crucial, such as dermatology, plastic surgery, or wound care.
