We are pleased to announce that we have maintained NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) accreditation since 25^th November 2021, which shows our ongoing commitment to robust data security and compliance standards within the healthcare sector. This accreditation underscores our dedication to protecting the data we handle and ensuring our operations align with the NHS’s strict data protection and cybersecurity protocols.

The DSPT is a comprehensive self-assessment framework required for organisations that access NHS systems and manage patient data. By meeting DSPT standards, Ellershaw House Ltd has demonstrated that our data security practices are not only effective in handling digital information but also extend to all types of records, whether they be paper or digital. This accreditation reflects our commitment to safeguarding the sensitive information of our residents, partners, and stakeholders and assures them that their data is in trusted hands.
