Overview

A Caldicott Guardian is a senior person within a health or social care organisation who makes sure that the personal information about those who use its services is used legally, ethically and appropriately, and that confidentiality is maintained. Delivered by Helen Dyer a long standing member of the Caldicott Guardian Council, Chair of the Northern Regional Network and contributor to “A Manual for Caldicott Guardians” UKCGC revised 2018, this interactive day is designed to build a foundation of knowledge, tools and sources of support to enable those with Caldicott responsibilities to add demonstrable value to their organisation and to be the best that they can be.

This course is for delegates who would like to learn more or refresh their knowledge about being a Caldicott Guardian or supporting a Caldicott role or function. It covers what the role entails and how it interacts with other members of the Information or wider Governance team. Through exploration of real case scenarios it will give delegates an understanding of the law, ethics and principles at play and will offer tools and techniques to support team members to add value to client care and the organisation as well as develop their career.

Delegates will be able to demonstrate CPD and appropriate training to fulfil their requirements for the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit and will also have the opportunity to develop sources of support and networking for the future.
