Act Now Training is pleased to announce a series of free Information Governance briefings for the health sector.
The IG landscape has changed dramatically in a relatively short space of time. Healthcare professionals are facing new challenges in the form of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit.
In each free briefing, we will explain what these changes mean in practical terms and dispel some of the myths associated with the new legislation. Time has been allocated for questions, discussion and networking. Participants will leave with an action plan for compliance.
These briefings are ideal for Information Governance Leads in General Practices, pharmacies, Clinical Commissioning Groups, dentists, care homes and other healthcare providers.
The speakers are Ibrahim Hasan, a solicitor and director at Act Now Training, and Craig Walker, Data Protection Officer at St Helens and Knowsley Hospitals NHS Trust. Both are well-known experts in this field with many years of experience in training and advising the health sector. Other members of the Act Now team will also be on hand to answer participants’ questions over a complimentary lunch.
