We build software that makes communication for healthcare professionals and patients easier. That means NHS patients and professionals trust us with very sensitive data. This is a responsibility that we take incredibly seriously.
We're on a mission to make patients healthier and healthcare professionals happier.
That's only possible if you understand what data we process, why we process it and how it's used.
Your trust in our data security and privacy comes ahead all of other considerations in designing our products. It's not enough to ask you to trust us, we have to show that we are trustworthy.
This page sets out the principles that guide us at accuRx when handling health data. It also provides routes to more details about the way we do things. If you can't find something that should be here, please reach out via operations@accurx.com.
If you're a patient and you want more detail on how we handle your data, see here.

The NHS and government set standards to make sure all organisations using health data keep it safe and use it ethically. We make sure we meet all of these every step of the way.
We use best practice security technology
All data is encrypted when stored and when being sent. This makes sure the only people who can access it are you, your health professional and [anyone you authorise].
We set strong identity controls
We make sure people who use our systems are the same professionals you trust to care for you. They must have verified NHS credentials.
We work with safe and secure partners
We sometimes partner with other organisations, for example to store data securely in the cloud. We only work with those who meet our high standards.
As a company we want to go beyond the essentials. We need people to trust in the whole system, not just us. We want to help raise the bar for everyone. That's because software and data, used carefully and effectively, can improve health outcomes for every single patient.
You can see examples of our contributions, including things we've written, and talks we've given on our blog.

Every member of the accuRx team completes our Security 101 and Information Governance training in their first week. We talk about it all the time and our team's understanding and confidence on IG matters is something we monitor.
We have a vibrant professional user group and we are developing a patient panel to shape decisions on new technologies and data use in the future.
Everything we do with data is to improve people's health. All business decisions are guided by our mission and the NHS Code of conduct for data-driven technology.
