Compliance Reviews

These are some of the activities that we have been involved with, linked with the introduction of new systems and processes.

We can do the linked Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) without over-complicating what is needed.

We provide advice around new systems in general and if a good idea makes sense or might cause problems.

This is only a small subset of what we have been involved with over the years.

We have also been involved in supporting the IG elements of research projects over the last few years, whether hosted or sponsored and supporting researchers with getting the documentation to the right standard.

Also bear in mind that the 2024/25 DSPT return, if you are a Tier One organisation, is a step change in terms of national returns for NHS Information Governance. We have the experience in working through what those changes mean in practice.

To be better than “good” you now have to consider publishing your DPIA’s on your website – quality control of your DPIA’s are a “must”.

We have also done some costings and NHS England have totally underestimated the cost of change to NHS organisations for the new DSPT – for a middle sized organisation of 7000 staff the cost of change, on top of its current staff is around £150k over the next two years.

We can help with reducing that cost, or at the very least, help you to work out where shortcuts can be found.
