Information Governance and patient confidentiality is a critical aspect of the role of today's NHS (see the article from the NHS Journal).   The areas where compliance is required include:

  • NHS Code of Practice on Confidentiality

  • Records Management: NHS Codes of Practice
  • NHS Information Quality Assurance Policies (Accident & Emergency,Data Quality,IM&T Training,National Strategic Tracing Service,Outpatient Data Quality,Security & Confidentiality)

Designed to be used alongside the user awareness video, the content is provided in 5 chapters as follows:

  • Introduction - What is Information Governance?
  • Why do we need information?
  • Why is Information Governance important?
  • How can we improve Information Governance?
  • How can you make sure that Information Governance works?

Modules can be added or deleted to suit a Health organisations' specific focus.
