Managing Personal Data Breaches in Healthcare

A course delivered by a seasoned Information Governance professional who will share the background of what should be considered a personal data breach, along with hacks from experience on how to best deal with them.

It’s commonplace to hear that breaches of the UK General Data Protection legislation could lead to fines of £17.5 million or 4 per cent of an organisation’s turnover. But is that so?

It’s never happened to a healthcare organisation, but that’s not to say it couldn’t. This course will not only help you respond well when an incident occurs, and they will occur, it will also put it in the context of the need for excellent preparation and response processes – which in place should minimise the potential of those nasty fines.

No one can ever say that an organisation won’t get fined, but this course should get you well on the way to having your ‘accountability’ procedures in place, as well as a response action plan for when you need it.

It will also give you tools to understand how you got to the position of the incident occurring, so you can work towards preventing something similar in the future.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understanding the context of personal data breaches in relation to the UK General Data Protection legislation.

  • Understanding the context of breaches in relation to guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office and NHS England.

  • Learning how to respond appropriately and well to breaches.

  • Performing a root cause analysis.

  • Learning through case studies.

  • Learning through small group discussion and shared experiences.
