GP Data protection Office newsletter
Posted on:
The NHS NEL GP DPO newsletter issue 6 is out now: https://nhs.sharepoint.com/sites/A3A8R_GPDSPT/SitePages/Newsletter-Issue6.aspx
This month our spotlight is on the 2024-2025 Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT). The assertions and evidence requirements have now been agreed by NHS England, so it’s time for GP practices to start planning this year’s DSPT work.
In the newsletter, we have also included :
- NHS England’s DSPT training webinar dates, please ensure the practice DSPT leads attend one of the sessions.
- This year the DSPT includes a new mandatory requirement for GP practices to install multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all remotely accessible user accounts on all systems, so we have provided some preparatory guidance for practices.
- An update on the NEL ICS Data Governance Group (previously called Data Access Group).
- Information on the NHS NEL GP DPO service.
- Guidance on involving your Data Protection Officer (DPO) when procuring or trialling out new digital products and signing up to new programmes and services.
