Remote access, either for off-site working or support is a
growing use of technology which provides much benefit to NHS
staff, but is also an area of considerable concern relating
to security of patient identifiable data.
Away From My Desk Ltd has staff with many years experience
of working for the NHS in a variety of roles, including
interim IT management and consultancy, and has identified
security of patient identifiable data (PID) in motion as its
primary goal as a service provider.
We subscribe to the current industry view that
organisational security may rely as much on security through
engaging users as much as providing excellent security
technology
Since April 2003, Away From My Desk Ltd staff have worked
with a variety of NHS partners, including BT N3 and Cable &
Wireless, initially to implement packaged solutions and
ultimately to produce bespoke software to make remote access
for NHS staff both secure and easy to use.
We have had our product range reviewed in two consecutive
years by the former NHSIA and passed as meeting
acceptable for use criteria by Bristol Information
Governance for use by the NHS community. Our products also
had a favourable review by the commercial arm of NHS
Connecting for Health.
We have over 500 users of our products across 30 PCTs
throughout the NHS. We attribute the wide take-up so far to
the simplicity of the product and ease of use that it offers
busy NHS staff.
Our product range can be installed anywhere nationwide by
our professional installation team, using the same remote
installation technology as is employed in the remote access
solution.
