Redaction for health records.
Patient records, employment files and complaint correspondence name relatives, carers, clinicians and other patients. Redactics redacts their details automatically, including in scanned and handwritten material, for your team to review.
Who appears in the documents.
- The patient or employee making the request, whose own information stays visible.
- Relatives, carers and other patients mentioned in the same notes.
- Clinicians and staff, including signatures, initials and contact details in letters and ward notes.
- NHS numbers, dates of birth and addresses that belong to someone else.

- Every redaction and every change on review has a reviewer and a time, available on request.
