Information governance templates

Helping information governance (IG) professionals across health and care to bring a consistent approach.  

 

The adoption of the templates is non-mandatory. However, all organisations using and sharing health and care information are encouraged to use these templates to reduce duplication and facilitate collaborative work across the system.
