About the Caldicott Guardian Training and the CG Role
This ‘Caldicott Guardian Training’ course is for all those who require refresher or up-to-date training, in the Caldicott Guardian role, either as a Caldicott Guardian, a deputy or an information governance professional working in support of the Caldicott Guardian.
BLS Stay Compliant works with the UKCGC to assure the quality and content of the training being delivered and that it is maintained and aligns with the latest developments and the CG manual. It is a CPD accredited course.
The Caldicott Guardian is an essential role in any health care, social care, Local Authority or NHS Partner. All NHS organisations and local authorities providing social services must have a Caldicott Guardian. A Caldicott Guardian is a senior person responsible for protecting the confidentiality of patient and service-user information, making sure it is used properly and enabling appropriate information-sharing. Our training meets the requirements within the Data Security and Protection Toolkit and aligns with the UK Caldicott Guardian Council’s manual.
The Stay Compliant team have extensive and practical expertise which we bring to our CPD accredited courses.
It is an interactive day with a number of case studies to help delegates understand what they should consider when making Caldicott decisions in order to provide confidence in this role.
