October's Information Governance (IG) Newsletter shares important tips and reminders for keeping patient information safe and secure.

It includes the importance of checking email recipients, leaving voicemails for patients and how the IG Team can support relevant InPhase incidents.

Their latest IG Shining Star Award goes to ED Lead for High Intensity Users (HIU) in the BLOSM service, Francesca Berettoni. Fran recently worked closely with the IG Team to make sure all the correct documentation was in place for the HIU project.

The IG Team said: "Francesca asked all the right questions and embraced our guidance to produce documents of high quality. We always appreciate it when colleagues reach out at the start of a project as it’s always better to identify, assess and mitigate any risks associated with processing personal data as early as possible."

If you’re embarking on a new project, remember that the IG Team are always here to assist you with any information governance issues, so please feel free to email us: THIS.InformationGovernance@this.nhs.uk
