General

iConnect – We have received a template of a more comprehensive DPIA from iConnect and are just waiting for their DSPT to be at Standards Met. We will let everyone know when this final assurance has been met.

Blog – OpenSAFELY – A reminder of the actions required by the practice to comply with the Data Provision Notice for OpenSAFELY.

AI

Blog – Updated AI process for practices and AI evaluation document – This includes the new process for all practices to follow when procuring AI products within our ICB as well as a few additions to our previously published AI Evaluation Document (that is no longer available). It has been agreed with the ICB and further information regarding DCB0160 support will follow as soon as possible.

Reminders

Privacy notices – In case anyone is looking to update theirs, back in 2024 we published a factsheet (here) that includes Word templates for a practice privacy notice and children’s privacy notice.
