Patient confidentiality as a witness in court
I'm an A&E nurse working in Scotland and have to attend court as a witness against an aggressive patient who presented in triage to me last year. Giving the context in court as to why the patient had attended would make things easier but I am not sure if I must still uphold patient confidentiality while in court or if as a witness I am obliged to tell the full story. Any advice is appreciated.
