Privacy

This web site www.libraryservices.nhs.uk is operated by the SHA Library Leads (SHALL) group, in part by other NHS Library Services staff and by Wirral Health Informatics Service (WHIS). Both SHALL and WHIS are NHS organisations and, as such, adhere to various standards for the protection and use of personal information.

There are facilities within this web site which allow you to voluntarily send information to SHALL, or to others involved with NHS Library Services. You should be aware that such transmissions are not subject to any particular encryption and could, in theory, be intercepted and read by someone. Therefore you may wish to avoid including information which you consider private. Any information you supply via this web site will be handled in accordance with SHALL’s or other NHS departments' mechanisms and safeguards for data protection.

In order to access various parts of this web site, you have to use your username and password. You should exercise caution to ensure that nobody else gains knowledge of your sign-in details. Neither SHALL nor WHIS has knowledge of your sign-in unless you volunteer that information to them.

Both SHALL and WHIS use analytics software to assess the usage of this web site. This does not identify individuals who use the site but does show retrospectively that people in certain geographic areas, using certain ISPs and certain software combinations have used the site.

If this privacy statement is amended, the amended version will be displayed on this web page. If you have any queries about this statement, please e-mail wih-tr.content@nhs.net
