Caldicott Guardian Training Course: All you need to know
What is a Caldicott Guardian? “A senior person, preferably a health professional, should be nominated in each health organisation to act as a guardian, responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of patient information.” This recommendation was accepted and since 1998 every NHS organisation has been required to have such an individual in post. From 2002 local authorities were required to appoint a Caldicott Guardian to ensure that confidential information was protected well and shared wisely in social care. The role has since spread to other organisations in health and social care, and in associated sectors including prisons and the Ministry of Defence (A Manual for Caldicott Guardians 2017).
