Essential guide
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is European Legislation which comes into force on 25 May 2018. It will apply to all organisations across the EU who are "controllers" or "processors" of personal data. This will include hospitals, GP practices, community pharmacies, universities and organisations engaged in research.
Why should I know about GDPR?
Whether you are involved in helping to prepare the organisation you work for to be ready or whether you will be involved in collecting or using the personal data of your patients once GDPR comes into force, having an understanding of GDPR will be useful to you.
