Student IT
An interim process is currently in place in NHS Lothian for student IT access. This means universities are responsible for submitting the IT access forms and practice educators should no longer do so. For students who need read-only access to Trak, they must complete the relevant Turas module and provide evidence of completion before application is made via the university. Full information can be found in this document. In the long term we are moving towards an online system for applying for IT access with our NHS Lothian IT colleagues.
Please see the following relevant local documents:
- The NHS Lothian Digital IT Security policy exists to comply with NHS Scotland Guidance in addition to ensuring that NHS Lothian continues to treat IT assets and personal identifiable data with due care and diligence. This policy applies to all staff as well as students on placement in NHS Lothian.
- NHSL Digital Communications Guidance has helpful information about accessing and using these programmes.
- MS Teams in Educational Group Settings
- Student IT FAQs
- Information Governance: FairWarning Awareness
Please remind students that they cannot access their own, family members or friendsā€™ records on TRAK.
Like staff, they can only access clinically relevant records of patients who they are involved in the care of. There is a monitoring system in place and any activity outwith this will be highlighted and reported.
