蜜桃影像 COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport Privacy Notice

Version 1 (蜜桃影像蜜桃影像 Foundation Trust-adapted) 26/01/2021

Introduction

During the current COVID-19 health emergency, various plans and projects are being implemented to help the 蜜桃影像 meet the unprecedented challenges and provide the best possible care to our patients. One of those challenges is ensuring that our clinical staff members are able to work where they are needed most and where their skills can be best utilised, and to reduce the administrative delays in making this happen. To enable this,staff who volunteer to participate in the scheme will be provided with a digital passport 鈥� the COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport 鈥� which summarises their clinical attributes, is verified by their current employer, and will allow them to begin working in another 蜜桃影像 location as quickly as possible.

What is a COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport?

If you choose to participate in in the scheme, your COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport will primarily be digital in nature 鈥� although a paper version can be produced 鈥� and it will contain personal information about you. Your current employer will create the digital passport by collating information about you from their existing records, and uploading it to the COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport system. You will have full control over how your digital passport is used 鈥� as it will be accessed via a digital wallet on your smartphone (or held by you in paper form), and you choose when you wish to share it. We highly recommend that you protect your personal device with a password or biometric scan to ensure the security of your information. When you arrive at your 鈥榥ew鈥� 蜜桃影像 location, your 鈥榥ew鈥� employer will ask to see your digital passport and conduct a verification check with your current employer. This will reduce the need for lengthy employment checks or checks with professional regulators, to enable you to start work as soon as possible.

The information collated will be the minimum necessary to populate your digital passport and will all be relevant for creating your staff profile at your next organisation. This will include:

蜜桃影像 COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport Privacy Notice for [this placeholder will be updated after registration]

Version 3, 28th September 2020

Introduction

During the current COVID-19 health emergency, various plans and projects are being implemented to help the 蜜桃影像 meet the unprecedented challenges and provide the best possible care to our patients. One of those challenges is ensuring that our clinical staff members are able to work where they are needed most and where their skills can be best utilised, and to reduce the administrative delays in making this happen. To enable this, staff who volunteer to participate in the scheme will be provided with a digital passport 鈥� the COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport 鈥� which summarises their clinical attributes, is verified by their current employer, and will allow them to begin working in another 蜜桃影像 location as quickly as possible.

What is a COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport?

If you choose to participate in in the scheme, your COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport will primarily be digital in nature 鈥� although a paper version can be produced 鈥� and it will contain personal information about you. Your current employer will create the digital passport by collating information about you from their existing records, and uploading it to the COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport system. You will have full control over how your digital passport is used 鈥� as it will be accessed via a digital wallet on your smartphone (or held by you in paper form), and you choose when you wish to share it. We highly recommend that you protect your personal device with a password or biometric scan to ensure the security of your information. When you arrive at your 鈥榥ew鈥� 蜜桃影像 location, your 鈥榥ew鈥� employer will ask to see your digital passport and conduct a verification check with your current employer. This will reduce the need for lengthy employment checks or checks with professional regulators, to enable you to start work as soon as possible.

What data will be processed?

Only staff data which is held by your current organisation will be processed via your COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport. The information collated will be the minimum necessary to populate your digital passport and will all be relevant for creating your staff profile at your next organisation. This will include:

Basic personal details about you 鈥� name, date of birth, National Insurance number; An ID photo of you;
Basic details relating to your work status 鈥� DBS information, right to work information (residency/visa); Your professional registration details (GMC/NMC/GDC/HPC);
Clinical training and qualification details, any other specific clinical skills, and any restrictions on your practice;
Basic details relating to your current employment 鈥� employing organisation, job role, staff group, department, start date (and fixed term end date, if appropriate), pay band, work email address, smartcard number; and,
Limited healthcare information specifically relating to your employment 鈥� specifically Occupational Health clearance.

What is the purpose of processing my data?

The information processed via your COVID-19 Digital Staff Passport is all information which is currently processed by your existing employer to meet employment requirements, and is needed by your 鈥榥ew鈥� employer for those same purposes. The lawful basis for processing this information by each organisation for your employment purposes is as per the following GDPR articles:

6(1)c 鈥� Legal obligation, 6(1)e 鈥� Public task;

蜜桃影像蜜桃影像 Foundation Trust takes seriously its obligations to protect the rights and freedoms of patients, staff, volunteers, trainees, and contractors. The Trust is committed to building privacy by design and default into our systems and services, to minimise any risks to data subjects that might arise through our processing activities.

However, we recognise that there may be circumstances in which members of the public or staff raise concerns or complaints about the way the Trust is processing their personal data. This procedure gives a framework for managing data protection complaints consistently and transparently, to ensure fair and equitable outcomes for complainants.

Records relating to your complaint will be held securely in restricted areas of the Trust鈥檚 IT network or system.

It may be necessary during the investigation to reveal to you the identities and personal data of staff or other third parties involved in responding to the complaint. This information will be provided to you only as required, and you must always respect the confidentiality of third parties.

Grievance and representation

Any complaint or allegation cannot be made anonymously.

A third party may submit the complaint on your behalf with your written and signed authorisation, subject to approval by the Data Protection Officer or their delegate.

At the end of the review the Data Protection Officer will provide you with an response summarise the complaint and examination process, this may including further evidence gathered from yourself, colleagues or any other relevant third party, and an assessment of the extent to which specific concerns raised in the complaint contravene the Trusts Data Protection policies and procedures and Data Protection Legislation, to help you better understand the outcome of the review. The outcome section of the report will tell you whether your complaint is:

a) Fully upheld
b) Partially upheld
c) Not upheld

The response marks the final stage of the Trusts Data Protection Complaints procedure. The Trust will aim to put in place any recommendations within one calendar month of the date of the report, where possible.

If the review finds that a person has processed your personal data and infringe sections 170-173 of the Data Protection Act (2018), the matter may be referred to the Police if the Trust believes that one or more of the criminal offences listed below has been breached:

a) Unlawfully obtaining, disclosing or retaining personal data:

You may choose to be accompanied by a friend, and staff by a work colleague or a trade union representative. This procedure does not permit any party to have legal representation at meetings. The identity of your representative should be made known to other parties to the meeting prior to the date of the meeting.

If you need us to make any reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act (2010) in connection with meetings or other proceedings under this procedure, please inform the Data Protection Officer in advance.

You can also seek advice from or make a complaint to the Information Commissioner鈥檚 Office (ICO) who is the UK data protection regulator.
