Information governance

Issues of information governance are more prevalent than ever. Health and social care organisations and providers including the NHS must have in place robust systems to ensure compliance.

Hill Dickinson’s experienced and dedicated team of lawyers can help you comply with this technical and complex area of law including the Data Protection and the Freedom of Information Acts.

We are experienced in advising on the protection and processing of all types of information including:

  • Health and social care records
  • Trust board minutes and supporting papers
  • Investigation reports
  • Personnel records
  • Contractual, procurement and tender documentation

We are recognised for our practical, pragmatic approach to dealing with information governance to help our clients manage what are often difficult and sensitive issues.
