Information Governance is especially important in our Trust; the nature of our patients means that there may be significant media interest in some. We currently have 14 separate Policies in this area.

All organisations, of whatever size, tend to have an Acceptable Use Policy that centres around the use of ICT. This Policy will tend to be based on several pieces of legislation. After a short break we will discuss the Trust Policy in detail and see if we can identify why it exists and what constraints it puts on the way that we work.
