Landmark Success
We are proud to be one of the Local Support Organisations, working alongside Better Security, Better Care (BSBC) and Digital Care Hub (DCH) to enhance cyber security and digital care in our community. Read about our successful working partnership as noted by Cordis Bright in their evaluation of Better Security, Better Care 2023-24.
The independent evaluation of the Better Security, Better Care programme highlights not only the impressive milestones achieved but also the broader impact on the health and care system.
Benefits of Local Support Organisations
Local Support Organisations (LSOs) have been pivotal in the programme’s success, evolving significantly since 2021. Initially focused on helplines and webinars, LSOs now concentrate on one-to-one support, particularly for smaller providers, fostering deeper engagement and sustainable behaviour changes.
Providers who seek more general support in their cyber security, such as through BSBC and LSOs, are less likely to suffer incidents. When incidents do occur, they are less likely to have material impacts. This suggests that the wider support activities of the programme have a greater impact on cyber security in the sector than just the completion of the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) in isolation.
LSOs have expanded their services beyond the programme, with 71% offering support around Digitising Social Care and 57% facilitating access to NHS Mail. This diversification has strengthened their role within local health and care systems, enhancing integration and collaboration with local authorities and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs).
