Connect to your Industry
Digital innovation in the UK’s healthcare system has never been more critical, as our country continues to recover from the Covid pandemic and progresses an ambitious integrated care agenda, and our health system faces unprecedented resourcing challenges amid rising demand. Deloitte is delivering a range of cutting-edge solutions to our NHS and wider health care and life sciences clients; whether it’s deploying frontline clinical systems, building clinical trials platforms, developing integrated care records, or creating artificial intelligence to support rapid decision making, we operate at the forefront of digital innovation in the health and social care market.
Access to personal and patient data is essential to enabling these innovations, and protecting that data is imperative not only to Deloitte’s interests, but also those of our clients and, ultimately, patients. Patient data is protected by various regulatory frameworks, which extend far beyond the UK-GDPR, and we are excited to be expanding our specialist Healthcare Data Team to ensure all our processing of patient data is lawful, ethical, and secure.
With dual accountability to the Consulting service line and our central Quality, Risk and Security (QRS) function, the team is responsible for assessing and mitigating information risks associated with processing personal data and Patient Level Data (PPLD) as part of our engagements. We ensure compliance with data protection laws and specialise in wider healthcare obligations, including (but not limited to) the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality, National Data Guardian standards, Caldicott Principles, NHS research standards and requirements of the NHS’ Data Security and Protection Toolkit.

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints. This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.

I head up the Healthcare Data Team and am thrilled at the prospect of working closely with a new manager to deliver the ambitions of our Personal and Patient Level Data risk management framework” Jon Shingleton, Senior PPLD Governance Manager
- “What is legal is not necessarily the same as what is right; Caldicott Guardians bring to bear ethical as well as legal considerations, making fine judgements about human situations that are rarely codified and could not be done by a machine” Karen Kirkham, Deloitte’s Caldicott Guardian and Chief Medical Officer
- “Working in a team pioneering cutting edge innovation, this role is suited to a creative, pragmatic thinker who places privacy and ethics at the heart of what they do.” Nicola Moorcraft, Deloitte’s Data Protection Officer
