Code of Conduct
All Wirral NHS organisations work to a "Code of Conduct for
handling personal identifiable information". Working to the
same Code of Conduct helps ensure a more unified approach across
the NHS organisations to the way NHS staff handle, store, transfer
and general work with personal information. This also helps
ensure compliance with the Data Protection Act www.dataprotection.gov.uk.

In addition to the local Code of Conduct, the ‘Confidentiality:
NHS Code of Practice’ has been published by the Department of
Health following public consultation in 2002/2003. The consultation
included representatives from a range of professional, and private
backgrounds along with key regulatory bodies who have helped
develop, agree and endorse this final version. The Code has
been endorsed by the Information Commissioner, the General Medical
Council and the British Medical Association. www.doh.gov.uk/ipu/confiden/protect/index.htm.
