Protecting Personal Data. Meeting Legal Duties. Maintaining Trust.
In health and social care, staff handle highly sensitive personal data every day. The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 place clear legal duties on how this information must be collected, stored, shared and protected. Our GDPR and Data Protection (UK) in Health and Social Care course equips staff with the knowledge, understanding and practical awareness needed to handle personal data lawfully, securely and confidently. This training helps organisations reduce data protection risks while protecting service users, staff and the organisation.
