Tunstall Achieves Another Industry First in Information Governance

TunstallTunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd has become the first in its market to achieve Level 2 of the Information Governance Toolkit (IGT) as a NHS Business Partner.

Paul Vessey, IG/IT Security and Risk Officer at Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd commented; "As a provider of services to health and social care, we’ve made a significant investment in Information Governance, prioritising the needs of our customers and assuring them that we take our responsibility towards managing their data extremely seriously. Work continues across the business to ensure Tunstall continues to improve its approach to IG."
