New care services: Data protection guide
Setting up a new care service can be daunting. Make sure you plan what information you will need, and how you will store and share it. It’s a legal, regulatory and contractual requirement. This new guide from the Better Security, Better Care team at the Digital Care Hub can help you. It includes a free checklist of issues a new care service should consider, and it signposts you to free resources, templates and support.
