Community pharmacies need to provide information governance assurances to the NHS on an annual basis. These assurances are provided through completion of an online assessment tool, the NHS Information Governance Toolkit (IGT).

Pharmacies are expected to attain Level 2 against each of the pharmacy IG requirements. The deadline for submitting this year’s return is 31st March 2018.

The PharmaPlus website has information on IG. We also have several videos on IG on our youtube channel from previous years.

Remember that if you have completed the IG requirements successfully last year then it is essentially reviewing what you have done.

As always, contact the office if you require further help.
