Written to the Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) learning outcomes for Information Governance and Data Security (CSTF England v1.1, no levels). CSTF alignment has not yet been granted, so this is a certificate of completion for your records and appraisal: check what your employer or agency accepts. Refresher: Annual (CSTF England v1.1; National Data Guardian data security standard 3). Since 2023-24 the Data Security and Protection Toolkit lets each organisation set role-based training through a training needs analysis instead of the old 95% rule, but most practices, NHS employers and locum agencies still expect yearly data security awareness training: check what yours requires.
