Training and development events update - February 2016
Infection Control Update – 26 January 2016
This workshop proved very popular particularly amongst GPs or GPNs. We were only able to accommodate 32 delegates and the event was oversubscribed. Because of this another Infection Control workshop date has been added on 2 March 2016, which is already fully subscribed.
ICO Data Protection Workshop – ran 3 and 4 February 2016
A team of lead auditors from the Information Commissioner’s Office delivered an interactive workshop over the course of two days to a total of 74 delegates. The majority of attendees were GPs and Practice Managers.
The ICO provides a series of resources in the form of leaflets and training videos. These can be accessed on the ICO website. Of particular note for general practice is the Data Day Hygiene training video which is set in a GP surgery..
