Virtual/On Site Information Governance, Data Protection & Change Management Services
= Current coverage areas
Welcome to
GR Governance & Consultancy
We are always open for new business.
We are at the cutting edge linked to data protection and Information Governance and the change management requirements that support successful implementation.
This includes the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA18) and the Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT) for the NHS.
A lot of the services that we provide are Virtual/Remote, and that includes everything that the DSPT does not really deal with – Records Management, Data Quality, Confidentiality.
We can be onsite if you need us to be but organisations have not noticed the difference and we make a point of being responsive and effective.
The new term is fractional – we offer services at the point of need or where you need help, without us being totally embedded in your organisation. That means we focus on the problem that you want resolving.
Anything and everything that Information Governance gets you involved with, we get involved with.
2024 is going to be harder as less allowances are made for the long term impact of COVID and less changes of legislation than were planned meaning that things are toughening up in the health and social care sector around general data protection compliance.
We also continue to recognise that finances are tight and our rates reflect that – we are not the cheapest but at the same time we know we are very competitive, and at times, are cheaper than employing a permanent member of staff.
@ 03/09/24, the revamped NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit has been launched. It will be a challenging time but our rates mean that if you need support, there are affordable options.
You just need to think outside the box because one of the other pressures is experienced staff retiring or moving on.
The new Information Commissioner documents linked to. data protection compliance are also a game changer because for the first time you can link policy development to clearly defined standards, especially for larger organisations.
What can we do for you?
We work together with clients to find lasting solutions that not only meet ever-changing regulatory requirements, but also save time and money. Changes to ways of working has proven that we can deliver an effective service without always having to be on site.
GRG has the ability to provide services for every NHS organisational type that need to meet current data protection standards, including as well as private companies delivering care within the NHS or through the public sector.
There is a large element of “It is not what you know but who you know” at the moment and we have an extensive network of contacts.
We are are increasingly involved with BIG DATA activities – research, AI, Population Health Management as well dealing with more complex issues around SAR and FOI.
We are members of the National Association of Data Protection Officers.

About our Services
GRG specialises in finding answers to the often-put information sharing questions “How can we do this?” and “How should this be done?”. That includes ensuring that legal basis is always established to comply with UK GDPR.
Gone are the days where it can take months to get new initiatives and activities through – we expect to help to reduce that to days or weeks.
GRG’s range of expertise also covers associated services, such as enabling the provision of remote services through to frequent attenders or the legal issues linked to waiting times initiatives.
Bear in mind we are not the cheapest or not the most expensive and we do not charge based on the “market rate” – at the end of the day any business charges based on what makes sense to them.
