Digital Security and Protection Toolkit Support for NHS Primary Care Networks

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) play a vital role in the community care landscape. Many PCNs have secured clinical contracts and are keen to implement access to GP Connect. However, a key requirement for this is the successful publication of a Standards Met Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT).

PCU Consulting brings extensive experience in supporting clients through this process. We have successfully assisted GP Federations, PCNs, and General Practices in meeting DSPT requirements often under tight deadlines and complex circumstances.

As an increased number of clinical based contacts are being awarded to PCNs by commissioners, the need for DSP toolkit compliance is growing.

Using our existing DSP toolkit experience with PCNs, PCU Consulting can offer very economically priced and dedicated consultancy to develop and publish DSP toolkits for PCN's.
