An expectant mum said she felt 'completely violated' after her ex-boyfriend, a doctor in Nottingham, accessed her medical files. Tanya Sunrise, of Ilkeston, who is 28 weeks pregnant, had her records accessed by Dr Ghassan Almeer earlier this year, months after splitting up with him.
Dr Almeer, a senior consultant radiologist who works at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH), was found to have viewed the 37-year-old private sector nurse's records in January. In a letter addressed to Ms Sunrise, NUH said Dr Almeer had viewed an ultrasound scan as well as her medical 'homepage' and a test result on January 13. He viewed the scan once again on January 17.
Ms Sunrise told Nottinghamshire Live she was "shocked" when she was first made aware. "I was really shocked," she said. "I felt completely violated. The system has got my complete medical history throughout my whole life. It’s my private confidential information."
