YOU ARE THE GUARDIANS OF PATIENT DATA
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DATA PRIVACY
As a person working within a healthcare organisation, whether you have direct patient contact or not, you are obliged by law to protect the health data of the patients we treat.
Aside from our legal obligations, being meticulous in protecting patient data builds trust, improves the quality of care we can offer our patients and protects our reputation.
Over the next few months, we will be educating you about the measures you need to take to protect patient data and how you can help us keep their data secure. This is such an important topic – please take the time to read and understand the information that will appear on this page.
