In this video, we meet Alison Horsfield, MEDIO’s Data Protection Officer and Information Governance Lead. Alison plays a vital role in making sure patient and clinical data is handled safely and responsibly across everything MEDIO delivers.
Why Data Protection Matters in Healthcare Technology
As healthcare providers adopt more digital tools, the volume and sensitivity of the data involved only increases. Alison’s role ensures that as MEDIO’s technology connects clinicians, patients, and services, the information behind those connections is protected at every step. It’s a responsibility that sits at the heart of how MEDIO operates.
Trust as the Foundation of Good Care
For Alison, data protection isn’t just a regulatory requirement, it’s fundamental to the relationship between patients and the NHS. In her own words:
“Keeping patient and clinical data safe is a big part of what we do at MEDIO. Looking after patient information is essential to building trust and delivering good care.”
That link between data protection and trust is central to Alison’s approach. Patients and clinicians need confidence that the systems they rely on are secure, which in turn supports better, safer care.
Information Governance in Practice
Alison’s work spans the policies, processes, and safeguards that keep MEDIO’s solutions compliant and secure, from NHS Digital standards through to day-to-day data handling. It’s often work that happens behind the scenes, but it underpins every product and service MEDIO delivers to the NHS.
