Frequently Asked Questions

Information Governance is the framework for managing healthcare data securely, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, accessibility, accurate record keeping and compliance with relevant laws and policies.

GDPR is a data protection law that sets rules for collecting, using, storing and sharing personal data while protecting individuals’ privacy and ensuring lawful data processing.

Staff can protect data by following data security principles, using secure systems, maintaining confidentiality, preventing unauthorised access and reporting data breaches or security incidents promptly.

Caldicott Principles guide the appropriate use and sharing of confidential healthcare information. They help staff balance the need to protect patient confidentiality with the need to use information appropriately.

A Subject Access Request allows an individual to request access to their personal information. Healthcare organisations must follow GDPR, data protection requirements and relevant organisational procedures when responding.
