East Midlands Strategic Information Governance Network (EMSIGN)

The EMSIGN provides a forum for Information Governance professionals working in

Health and Social Care across the East Midlands to share knowledge and expertise

relating to the area of Information Governance. The network acts as a conduit for

communication, consultation and dissemination of relevant Information Governance

topics. The group members, where appropriate, comment on national policy and

developments and this is fed up to national Information Governance forums

predominately within NHS England or the Health and Social Care Information

Centre.

The group also provides a support function to all the members to ensure the

development of consistent practices across the East Midlands region; this is

pertinent to ensure effective information sharing across partner agencies.

Records and Information Group

The purpose of the Record and Information Group is to support Health and Social

Care organisations across Nottinghamshire ensure that best practice is applied in

the sharing and management of Information. The group develop robust Information

Governance guidance and recommend these to the member organisations across

the Nottinghamshire Health and Social Care Community for inclusion within

organisational policy. The group develop advice, standards, principles and

documentation to support the adoption of best practice, communicating these to

support staff who provide care

Information Governance (IG) Leads Working Group

The purpose of the IG Leads Working Group is to support the Nottinghamshire

Clinical Commissioning Groups to ensure that best practice is applied in the sharing

and management of information and as a forum to discuss and resolve common

issues or queries in relation to the Information Governance agenda and IG Toolkit

standards.

Data Management Group

The Nottinghamshire Data Management Group (DMG) act as the body agreeing the

tactical and strategic priorities of the Nottinghamshire Data Management Team

(DMT). The DMG agree a set of common priorities which allow the DMT to deliver

the rapid and dynamic implementation of solutions including:

Setting the overall data management strategy for Nottinghamshire CCGs;

Agreeing the prioritisation of IGM&T product developments in relation to Business

Intelligence and Data Warehousing environments;

Supporting the implementation of products in individual CCGs;

Ensuring risks relating to information governance and health informatics are

identified and managed;

Supporting the CCGs in defining product specifications which meet the agreed

functionality.

In doing so it ensures the DMT:

Support clinical commissioning innovation;

Provide rapid and responsive developments;

Operate within a sound governance environment which adheres to CCGs’

policies; and

Work to robust management processes which are documented.

The DMG focuses its business on strategic-level discussions and rely on the more

frequent discussions between SIROs to agree arrangements for more operational

changes and issues of a more urgent nature.

Nottinghamshire IM&T SRO Programme Board

The Connected Nottinghamshire IM&T SRO Programme Board is responsible for the

creation of the Digital Roadmap, setting the overall ambition and strategic direction

for IM&T in the City and County of Nottinghamshire. It aligns the programme with

key business and transformation agendas and monitors, reviews and reports overall

progress. Specifically the Board ensures alignment with the Sustainable

Transformation Plan for the Nottinghamshire Digital Footprint.

The Board translates the strategy into tangible projects, ensuring they are delivered

and their benefits realised across the clinical, care and managerial environment

across the health and social care community.
