Dear Eddy,


Urgent Reminder: Complete DSPT by 30th June



This is a crucial reminder to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) by 30th June. This is a contractual requirement for NHS-funded services and ensures compliance with legal and data security standards.

  • Required for NHS-funded services.
  • Recognised by government bodies and regulatory authorities.
