Ensuring the appropriate collection, use and security of information is a significant legal responsibility for healthcare organisations and individual healthcare workers. Recent high-profile cases of personal data loss and breaches of confidential information within the health sector are a reminder for all healthcare staff to be aware of their responsibilities in using and safeguarding sensitive information.

Data Security has always been important but has become more complex and time-consuming to manage now that technology is so central to the way we deliver health and care.

At the end of this course, learners are required to complete an online assessment. On successful completion of the assessment (80% pass mark), learners may download a Information Governance certificate from their profile page. Our certificate can be used to provide evidence for compliance and audit purposes.

Yes. You can access E-Learning if you have a smartphone or tablet with internet access. The modules are designed to be responsive, which means the screen layout will automatically re-organise itself to fit onto your device’s screen. However, there is a huge range of smartphones, mobile browsers and operating systems out there and we don’t have the resources to test all of them. We test on Android and Apple mobile devices using the most current browser version available at the time, but we cannot guarantee that our content will work on every mobile device and browser combination.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that data will be saved. We recommend that you close the browser down in the normal manner and log back in again.

The data is saved when the selected piece of E-Learning has been started, completed and at various points during the session. If your computer crashes in the middle of a session, for example, then your data may not be saved.
