Lawful basis

Definition

From:

NHS England Transformation Directorate: Information Governance Framework for Integrated Health and Care: Shared Care Records (Sep 2021)

The principle of accountability requires you to be able to demonstrate that you are complying with the UK GDPR, and have appropriate policies and processes. This means that you need to be able to show that you have properly considered which lawful basis applies to each processing purpose and can justify your decision.
