IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GDPR (GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION) AND RESEARCH

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), NHS organisations need to provide transparency of information to people about the processing of their personal data.  There is a strong emphasis on implementing safeguards for personal data for research. As such, the amount of information that must be provided to research participants about how their personal data is processed for research purposes has increased.
