Overview
The Data Protection Act 1998 was introduced in response to the European Community Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. The Act details how personal data may legally be used. All research data must be dealt with in accordance with the Act.
The majority of research projects carried out involve the use of personal data to some extent. There is much confusion over exactly what counts as personal data, and therefore what is covered by the Act. This module describes what is considered personal data in research and describes how to comply with the Act in the working environment. It looks at the data protection principles, the rights of data subjects, the trans-border data flow and the potential impact of these on clinical trials.
This module allows the learner to get an insight into the important requirements of the Act to ensure compliance in the research setting.
The programme is clear and simple in design and gives full instructions for use.
