However, it is impossible not to focus on the enormous activity that has occurred since January, through the spring and summer and is continuing to occur as we plan for the winter and for the new structure for public health in England. As I write, our thoughts are primarily on COVID-19 and working towards the continued easing of the lockdown measures including the opening of schools and supporting local authorities as they deal with hot spots. COVID-19 is the biggest public health challenge this country has faced in living memory. PHE has provided significant expertise, experience, knowledge and innovation built up over many years to help combat this dreadful disease. As part of the response to the pandemic, PHE has worked with key international partners, designed and delivered the first UK COVID-19 diagnostic test rolling it out faster than any other novel UK test in recent history and ensured NHS designated testing laboratories were able to start testing early on. PHE has been central to the NHS test and trace programme that is helping us to handle the next stages of the pandemic as we come out of lockdown. The last year has been an incredibly challenging period for PHE and I extend my thanks to all staff for their amazing commitment, fully recognising that this heightened level of activity is likely to continue for some time to come. PHE has also been providing guidance and advice to frontline health and care workers, other key workers and the public on all aspects of living and working with this pandemic, involving staff right across the organisation. None of this could have happened without partnership working, and PHE has always recognised the value of this. As well as the national and international relationships that PHE has helped foster as part of the COVID-19 response, many critical interactions take place regionally and locally on a day-to-day basis, particularly with local directors of public health and their staff. I was delighted to visit PHE’s regional and centre offices in Birmingham and in Leeds in January to understand more about these relationships. I was there at the very beginning of the epidemic and saw the excellent work PHE does on testing and tracing contacts. We must not forget how important local knowledge and skills are in combating outbreaks of infectious disease. On Tuesday 18 August 2020, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, announced the establishment of a new organisation called The National Institute for Health Protection (NIHP). NIHP will bring together health protection work combining the health protection elements of PHE with the NHS Test and Trace service and the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC)’s intelligence and analytical capability. NIHP will be established in Spring 2021. The PHE functions and directorates that will transfer to the new organisation are currently being considered, as well as new homes for the rest of the important work that PHE carries out, including its health improvement priorities. But the provision of public health in England whether Public Health England - Annual Report and Accounts 2019/20 7 for health protection or health improvement cannot stop. PHE will continue to carry out its duties across the enormous range of activity while at the same time ensuring support for the nascent NIHP. Times like these make us appreciate the importance of the work we have been doing in fields

  • How Your Information Is Shared So That This Practice Can Meet Legal
    How your information is shared so that this practice can meet legal requirements The law requires Devonport Health Centre to share information from your medical records in certain circumstances. Information is shared so that the NHS or Public Health England can, for example: plan and manage services; check that the care being provided is safe; prevent infectious diseases from spreading. We will share information with NHS Digital, the Care Quality Commission and local health protection team (or Public Health England) when the law requires us to do so. Please see below for more information. We must also share your information if a court of law orders us to do so. NHS Digital NHS Digital is a national body which has legal responsibilities to collect information about health and social care services. It collects information from across the NHS in England and provides reports on how the NHS is performing. These reports help to plan and improve services to patients. This practice must comply with the law and will send data to NHS Digital, for example, when it is told to do so by the Secretary of State for Health or NHS England under the Health and Social Care Act 2012. More information about NHS Digital and how it uses information can be found at: https://digital.nhs.uk/home NHS Digital sometimes shares names and addresses of patients suspected of committing immigration offences with the Home Office.
