Introduction
In late 2019, the National Data Guardian commissioned an online survey to help her better understand the perceived barriers to health and care professionals sharing information to support direct care, also called individual care. Its purpose was to learn what educational initiatives she might usefully encourage to support appropriate information sharing.
This report details the findings from that survey, including a set of four recommendations.
NDG Panel member, Dr Alan Hassey has published an accompanying blog post, in which he discusses the survey’s findings, recommendations and next steps.
