Personalised Health and Care 2020: a framework for action published by the National Information Board, proposed that we should, by October 2015, ‘relaunch the Information Governance Toolkit to reflect enhanced information governance and data security requirements.’ Today, as the first step in the development of the new toolkit we want to ask you what you think about the current toolkit, what you like about it and how you think it might be improved.

The first survey is aimed at IG managers and professionals working within large organisations such as trusts and clinical commissioning groups. Please note that while we are contacting those registered to use the toolkit we also invite the views of all those with an interest in IG to take part in the survey.

You can access the survey at https://consultations.infostandards.org/information-governance/igtlarge2015. The closing date for responses is Friday 6 March. Your comments and feedback will help shape the development of the new look toolkit due for launch in the autumn.

A second survey will launch soon, and this will be aimed at those working on IG within smaller organisations such as general practices. When this is available we will announce it here and invitations to those registered with the toolkit will be sent at the same time.
