Overview
Are you a Caldicott Guardian? Do you want to improve your knowledge and gain confidence in protecting patient data confidentiality?
If so, then take this half-day course. You’ll learn the knowledge and skills to process patient data in line with the Caldicott Guardian principles, understanding the breadth and impact of data sharing in health and social care. Appropriate information sharing is key in the health and social care sector to protect patients, as it ensures that caregivers of all types have up-to-date and relevant information about the people in their care.
The course is also interactive, so you will be encouraged to ask questions throughout, and can share your real-world experiences with other attendees, discussing issues and ideas to help them within their role. You’ll also talk through real-life practice scenarios to aid with your learning, giving you a proper hands-on approach.
When you train with DPAS, we offer you more than just the training. We’ll provide you with free policies, templates and tools – after the course has concluded. We also provide you with the relevant resources to help you throughout.
Become sufficiently trained to deliver the role of the Caldicott Guardian.
Come away with a deeper understanding of the role, the safe sharing of patient data and the mitigation of risks associated with patients, staff, and the organisation.
Understand what data you can share and provide assurance to the Board that the organisation is acting in the right manner.
Gain the skills to support your organisation in processing patient data in compliance with relevant legislation such as the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
We provide you with one of our highly skilled live trainers for the duration of the course. These experts currently work as DPOs or Consultants, so can train you using real examples from their experience in the industry, ensuring the course is practical and reliable.
We don’t just deliver our courses, and leave you to it. We provide you access to our online portal – which contains dozens of useful tools, templates, audits, policies and more – all available for you to use within your organisation.
Though our courses are virtual, you’ll still be fully involved by participating in breakout sessions, asking questions, and sharing your experiences. You receive valuable advice from peers in the industry, network with other delegates, and make worthwhile connections.
Our trainers are here to help you. We will provide you with mentor support for one month after the course, to assist with any queries or issues you may have.
