## Checking plan

**Disease notification**

Identify which duty the consultation or the test may engage, and leave the certificate to the practitioner.

- What the AI does: From the clinical note and the pathology result, list the condition as the file describes it, who attended, whether it was at a hospital, and whether a certificate or a report has already been sent. Do not complete a certificate.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which duty is engaged and what may be included about the patient's identity.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Do not name a condition as Category 1, 2, 3 or 5 unless the lawyer has opened the current list. The regulations were not opened.
2. Do not put a name and address on a Category 5 notification. Section 56 forbids it.
3. A hospital attendance may already have been notified by the chief executive. Record that belief before a second certificate is prepared.
4. Do not complete the approved form. The practitioner does.
5. This map is not a notification to a health-practitioner regulator about a practitioner's impairment.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
