Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust confirmed a data breach affecting 7,715 current and former staff members, with sensitive personal health information exposed via an Excel spreadsheet published in February 2023. The breach caused affected staff significant distress and loss of trust in the organization.
Why it matters: UK healthcare staff and employers face regulatory scrutiny and potential liability for unencrypted or improperly controlled personal health data; practitioners should review data handling procedures and access controls to prevent similar exposures.
