January 2024 update

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to you all.

A few admin points in this email as we make some changes to the way N3i will deliver the DPO and IG service going forward.

  • The service is now provided by Barry Jackson and Sarah Cunningham.
  • We will be using the generic email n3i.dpo@nhs.net to enable us to provide a more efficient service to you
  • All requests for assistance or advice will be logged on the N3i Service Desk for better continuity and management
  • There will be a regular monthly email sent on or around the second Thursday of the month
  • These email updates will also be posted on the IG Portal
  • We will continue to add factsheets and blogs to the portal
  • We are going to set up a Reference Document library on the portal
  • The team will deliver webinars every other month to keep staff up to date

To help get the message out to everyone we are doing a review of the Distribution List we use. At each practice at least one person should be on the list, typically the Practice Manager, but you can have as many users as you want to receive it, just let us know.

Some topics were are preparing for future publication included; a guide to Safeguarding material in patient records; the patient registration process, and issues around IG in the Detained Estate. And as always please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about IG or the DPO service, we look forward to hearing from you.
