Data Security & Protection Toolkit

If your practice still needs to register on the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT), please log in or register here (www.dsptoolkit.nhs.uk). You will need your practice organisation code and email address.  

All organisations which have access to NHS patient information must provide assurance that they are practising good information governance and use the DSPT to evidence this through the publication of annual assessments. DSPT submission deadline is 31 March 2019, so practices need to start working through the toolkit as soon as possible.

If you would like help with the new DSPT, you can register for a training webinar at: www.dsptoolkit.nhs.uk/News/40 . We have been advised that there are Q&As at the end of the webinars. The forthcoming dates are:
