1. What is the role of the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in UK data protection law?
The ICO is responsible for enforcing data protection law and providing guidance on best practices. Dental practices must register with the ICO and pay an annual data protection fee.
2. What are some key principles that dental practices must follow when handling personal data according to the DPA 2018 and GDPR?
Some key principles include lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and confidentiality.
3. Why is it important for dental staff to receive appropriate training in data security and data protection laws?
Dental staff are often responsible for handling sensitive patient data, so it is essential that they receive appropriate training in data security and data protection laws to maintain patient confidentiality and avoid legal penalties.
