Summary
The Privacy, Transparency & Trust (PTT) Sub-directorate is a sub-directorate of the Delivery Directorate. The mission of the PTT Sub-directorate is to enable NHS England to drive innovation and improve lives through greater use of data and technology and to be a well-run organisation.
The PTT Sub-directorate will enable and promote public trust in NHS England’s custodianship of staff, workforce and patient data. This aligns with the new legal duty of NHS England to have regard to the need to respect and promote privacy of patients and the core principles that underpin NHS England as a safe haven of patient data.
The Information Governance Officer role sits within the PTT Sub-directorate, as part of the Information Risk and Assurance domain that is responsible for providing oversight and assurance of IG compliance by NHSE and organisations it shares data with and mitigates and minimises organisational information risk. The risk and assurance team contribute to ensuring that NHS England is a well-run organisation and that we are meeting the expectations set for us through the new Statutory Guidance.
This includes carrying out day-to-day operational activities and support for the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) and providing a central role in the management of information risks owned by the PTT sub-directorate.
The role of an Information Governance Officer is to provide essential support to the work and mission of the Risk and Assurance domain within the PTT Sub-directorate. The role is key for helping colleagues within the risk and assurance team to deliver key operational IG activities, which include:
Providing assurance on IG and Statutory Guidance compliance through:
• Assurance and monitoring of internal business areas and external suppliers and 3rd parties to ensure that standards and processes are implemented appropriately;
• Internal information governance compliance audits and reviews;
• Audits of data use and sharing.
On behalf of the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO):
• Develop and maintain the organisational information risk strategy;
• Discharge many of the SIRO operational responsibilities on behalf of the SIRO, including all operational day-to-day responsibilities;
• Monitor and report on mitigation of information risk across the PTT sub-directorate and across the organisation, ensuring information risk is being appropriately identified, mitigated and managed on an ongoing basis;
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
• Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
• Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.
• Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
• Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
• Delivering value for money.
