If someone had presented that to me, I would have, but I'm not in the
medical profession.
As part of my work I do get presented with driving licences and have a
duty of confidentiality, but if someone tried to fool me by presenting
a clearly wrong one, the confidentiality would got out the window and
I'd report it!

No.
The only time they have disclose information to the police is for gunshot
injuries, terrorism and, I think, child abuse.
