During the webinar, representatives from Community Pharmacy England and NHS England’s Transformation Directorate provided guidance on completing the Toolkit questions, gave a demonstration of how to use and navigate the Toolkit, and answered viewers’ questions on how to make the data security declaration.
With pharmacy owners required to finalise their pharmacy’s Data Security and Protection Toolkit submission by 30th June 2024, watching this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to make good headway in its completion.
