Data Security Compliance Framework for Medical Professionals
For self-employed medical professionals who want to implement their Compliance Framework quickly and efficiently.
Why is is this Framework needed?
The number of enforcement actions taken by the authorities for breaches of Data Protection laws is significantly higher in the medical sector than in many other professions.
This is largely due to the sheer volume of data held by even small medical practices or individual practitioners, along with the highly sensitive nature of this data.
Our team of barristers has developed this practical solution to give you, as an individual practitioner, an entire framework of training, tools and templates to ensure you achieve a high standard of data protection compliance.
