UK medical practices increase secure data protection

Shred-it and the LMC Buying Group are helping GP surgeries and dental practices securely destroy sensitive patient and staff information

The medical sector which holds shedloads of confidential data, from patient and medical records to staff data, all of which is of considerable value to malicious third-parties.

Data protection has become a top priority in the medical sector of late, especially since the implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Through its partnership with the LMC Buying Group, a federation with over 6,500 members that negotiates discounts on a wide range of products and services for healthcare providers, Shred-it has helped the industry improve data protection measures and therefore their GDPR compliance plans.
