NHS Data Breach Threats and Claiming Compensation

Recognising and preventing NHS data breach threats is a core part of the mission to protect our valuable healthcare service and to ensure that patient confidentiality is upheld.

A lot of the claims for data breach compensation that we represent people for involve medical information. The reason for this is because it is often targeted by hackers, and it is also often the subject of data leaks because of how much information there is and how many people are involved. At the same time, this kind of information generally can have a substantial impact on the victim if it is misused or exposed, which often leads people to instruct us for a claim for compensation.
