Updated IG guidelines for Pharmacists


Compliance with Information Governance standards and that all important assessment completion has been of paramount importance to acute NHS organisations and Primary Care Trusts for a number of years.

However Pharmacists, Dentists and even Opticians are feeling the pressure this year, as they are required to submit their online assessments and ensure that they have the documentation in place to support this assessment. Not only that, in order to successfully pass the assessment, they need to be able to demonstrate at least a level 2 compliance against each standard.

Tricky stuff! Fortunately there are companies out there that take the pain out of documentation preparation and assessment completion for all health care providers or organisations that deal with health records. Words Worth Reading Ltd is one of these handy companies! For more information on our Information Governance services, check out our relevant webpage.
