Abstract

Abstract: The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) govern the use of personal data within the European Union as from 25th May 2018. This supersedes the legislation of the Data Protection Act (DPA). Whilst it has many similarities to the DPA, it has significant enhancements that require active engagement to ensure compliance. It is a requirement for practices to appoint a Data Protection Officer, pay the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) fee, update their privacy notices, create written contracts between controllers and processors, identify and document the lawful basis for processing data, and comply with the rights of individuals. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Data protection regulations have changed as part of EU legislation. These changes applied from 25th May 2018 and are applicable to all.
