Data Security
Data Protection:  to comply with the Data Protection Act
1998, I am registered on the Data Protection Register.   click
here to check my registration online
Data Loss:  To ensure data is not lost, three Psion 5's
are used with compact flash memory cards.  Regular backups are made
to an Apple laptop which is itself backed up regularly to CD-RW. 
Psion 5s are very reliable, but should one unit fail or be damaged then
it's stored information can be transferred to one of the backup units in
a matter of minutes.
Encryption of Patient Data:  Patient data is encrypted and
password protected at the end of each locum to comply with the Data Protection
Act 1998.  Unencrypted backup files are deleted at the end of each
locum and are not transferred to CD-RW. |
