Unfortunately James Wood became ill on the day before and was unable to attend to give his keynote presentation. The workshop attendees were very grateful to Richard Corbridge for stepping in to the breach so admirably at an hour's notice.

eduroam
There is a chance that the use of eduroam by NHS organisations might be included in the NHS Interoperability Toolkit if it gets enough votes: The use of eduroam by NHS organisations in their own right is something that was initially hoped to be achieved through the N3 Janet Gateway Phase II project and it is still hoped that might be possible in the future.

This Information Governance Toolkit (IGT) workshop took place on Friday the 8th March 2013 at the University of Leeds. It discussed the challenge to University Research or Education Groups, and potentially wider groupings such as Medical Faculties, of achieving the Information Governance Toolkit e.g to support s251 data requests or for access to NHS systems on N3. I am grateful to Richard Corbridge at the NIHR Clinical Research Network Coordinating Centre for hosting this in Leeds and for Jessica Thomas for all the help in organising it.

As the N3 contract is coming to an end, Ron MacDonald describes how the re-procurement is the vanguard project for the Scotland Wide Area Network (SWAN) programme, as part of the Public services Network (PSN) development and in response to the McClelland Review of Scottish Public Sector ICT. Since the Forum the OJEU for this has been issued. Ron also gives an update of the NHS Scotland videoconferencing project. Whilst mostly focused on NHS use the arrangement does use the N3 Janet Gateway to videoconference with academic partners.

Colin is the lead for the Information Governance for connecting to N3 in Scotland. He notes that the rules are essentially the same in Scotland as in England but they use a Manual of Information Security/NHS Scotland Information Security Policy with direct review rather than the policies covered by the online Information Statement of Compliance including the Information Governance Toolkit process as in England.
