A Data Protection Officer (DPO) assists you in achieving and maintaining compliance with data protection regulations. At Buywise Health, our Virtual Data Protection Officer service (VDPO) fulfils the function of the Data Protection Officer (DPO) on the basis of an external service contract.


This approach ensures that the necessary skills and resources are available, and for a fraction of the price compared to fulfilling the role in-house. It also ensures the role is fulfilled free from bias and any conflict of interest.
Our tailored service for GP practices addresses the sensitive nature of the data being processed, whilst also recognising the common processing activities adopted across multiple associated practice sites.
