   If you want to start working on your Data Security and Protection then come along to our Introductory webinar.

  If you have never started the DSPT, or maybe have done some work on it in previous years, come along to get started. We will cover what exactly the DSPT is, what the new changes are, how to register, and what your next steps are.

  The DSPT is a toolkit that needs to be renewed each year. The deadline for the 20/21 DSPT is the 30th June 2021.

  The DSPT is required in order to:

  • comply with data protection legislation and answer the Care Quality Commission’s Key Line of Enquiry questions about how you manage data securely (see KLOE W.2.8)
  • ensure ongoing access to key services such as NHSmail and shared care records so that you can share information with your health and care partners.
  • reassure people who use your services, their families and your staff that you are managing their information safely. Most people expect you to share information with others who support them – but you must do this securely and legally.
  • identify areas where you need to improve and support you to develop an improvement plan.
  • reduce the risk of suffering from cyber crime and data breaches.

  DCHC invite you to sign up for our Infection Control Champion Programme in collaboration with Devon CCG, starting September 23rd by Zoom.

  
  

  These sessions will provisionally run for 12 weeks, starting on Thursday 23rd September at 11am each week.

  Since the start of the pandemic there has been advice pouring into the sector from all agencies at national, regional and local level. At times this advice has been contradictory and in the main the advice has needed to be interpreted for operational purposes. This has resulted in some people finding it difficult to know what to do.

  As we progress through the life cycle of the virus and we learn more about it, we can be firmer in our convictions around the strategies that work to limit the risk of Covid.

  The wider infection control picture still remains. Influenza, Norovirus, C-diff, scabies to name a few.

  The aim of this programme is to assist our members navigate the various regulatory requirements and guidance and implement operational systems in a timely way that are recognised county wide by system partners. Our aim eventually is to have one approach to infection control that is agreed by the Health, Social Care and Providers to avoid contradictory advice or approach.

  Closing date for signing up is September 9th 2021

  More information can be found here.

  Please sign up by registering for this event.

  To ensure we give consideration to all settings, it would be useful if you can forward a copy of your current Infection Control Policy to info@devoncarehomes.org when you have registered.

  DCHC is currently working with policy and infection control experts to develop resources, including a generic policy.

  We will be happy to receive your suggestions, comments or queries.
