Data Protection
Please visit out main 'Data Protection & Your Privacy' section for more information.
Data Protection and Security (Known as Information Governance is how the NHS (and NUH)) handles all organisational information - in particular the personal and sensitive information of patients and staff. It allows organisations and individuals to ensure that personal information is dealt with legally, securely, efficiently and effectively, in order to deliver the best possible care.
The framework currently encompasses:
- Data Protection Act 2018
- The Freedom of Information Act 2000
- The NHS Confidentiality Code of Practice
- NHS Records Management Code of Practice
- Information Quality Assurance
- Information Security
