NHS tells staff to use Whatsapp to communicate during emergencies

NHS tells staff to use Whatsapp to communicate during emergencies The NHS has told staff to use Whatsapp to communicate during emergencies after producing its first guide for staff.

Medics have already turned to encrypted communication apps to deal with emergency situations such as the 2016 Croydon tram crash, and last year's Grenfell Tower fire and terrorist attacks in London Bridge and Manchester.

The new guidance will help NHS organisations and staff to make a judgment on how and when to use instant messaging safely in acute clinical settings, taking into account data sharing and data privacy rules. The Daily Telegraph
