Management of records 📑

Records and Information Management are essential parts of our Information Governance responsibilities. Good records management ensures we have the right information at the right time to support safe and effective care.

We manage records in line with legal requirements, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

These requirements apply to many types of records, including paper and electronic documents, emails, audio and video recordings, X-rays, and CCTV footage.
