May 2025 update
The DSPT technical evidence is now available on our IG Portal here. Please note that the link is only accessible when connected to the N3i network, either at a customer site, or at home via the VPN.
DSPT webinar Barry will be hosting this year’s DSPT webinar at 12pm on 4th June where he will run through the assertions. Invites will be sent out to follow this email (no response required – forwarding allowed). It will be recorded and made available on the IG Portal for those who are unable to attend.
AI questionnaire Our AI questionnaire has now been released to our York and North Yorkshire practices. Thanks to those who have already submitted their responses. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete, and it is as valuable to say that you aren’t using AI as it is to say that you are.
Egress blog This is the second blog about the importance of using Egress to send emails securely to non-NHS email addresses, particularly when providing SARs electronically.
Defence unions and AI blog We have published a blog here with links to position statements on liability for AI products from medical defence unions.
Medical examiners blog We have also published a blog with a link to the updated DPIA and NDSA regarding GP Connect now allowing medical examiners to directly access electronic records of deceased patients.
Webinar from 7th May For those of you who were unable to attend, we have the recording of our recent webinar in the ‘videos’ section of the IG Portal here.
Reminder of DSPT helpdesk email Just a quick reminder that the DSPT helpdesk has changed it’s support email to ssd.nationalservicedesk@nhs.net. N3i are unable to provide technical support for DSPT access issues.
And finally… Some of you will be very familiar with our IG Portal but for those who aren’t, we have put together some ‘quick links’ below that lead to information held on the IG Portal about that topic.
