Over 60% of NHS trusts surveyed don't have instant messaging policy

Over 60% of NHS trusts surveyed don't have instant messaging policy Just under two-thirds of NHS Trusts surveyed do not have a policy regarding the use of messaging apps, a freedom of information act (FOI) has revealed.

Hospify, a company that provides a secure mobile messaging service compliant for use in healthcare, sent FOI requests to 152 trusts in England earlier this year, asking a number of questions regarding their instant messaging guidelines.

As part of the request, hospitals were asked whether they had a policy regarding the use of messaging apps by their staff, and whether or not non-compliant apps were actively prohibited from use. Digital Health
