Cancer Institute Information Governance Forum

The Information Governance Team will be visiting the Cancer Institute on the 8th February 12pm-1pm – Courtyard Café to engage with anyone undertaking research at the Institute.

5 February 2018

This will be a forum for those who work on data supplied on consent, directly from participants or from another party, for example UCLH, with constraints on the purpose. The forum will be a great opportunity to address queries and concerns that researchers in the Cancer Institute have around providing assurance to funders, ethics, regulators and participants.

Information Governance training / certification is not a pre-requisite.

The Information Governance Team encourages wide participation across teams in the Institute. They will allocate the majority of the forum to queries and discussion.

Kind regards,
Caetano.
