Data (Use and Access) Act 2025- what care providers need to know

Data (Use and Access) Act 2025

Join specialist Social Care solicitors Lester Aldridge for a focused and practical update on the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and what it means for health and social care providers.

The Act came into effect in July 2025, with a staged implementation running through to summer 2026. Despite its significance, it has received little attention within the care sector — until now.

This essential webinar will explain how the changes will affect your data obligations in practice and what you should do to prepare.

About this Event

Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 – What Care Providers Need to Know

Delivered by specialist Social Care solicitors from Lester Aldridge, this session explores how the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 will reshape data-handling duties in health and social care settings.

The Act introduces new rules around data sharing, access and accountability, building on the existing UK GDPR framework. Its provisions are being rolled out in phases between July 2025 and June 2026, meaning care providers must begin preparing now to ensure compliance as each stage takes effect.

This session will cover:

• Applying Data protection principles in a health and social care context, more specifically covering data processing, data subject access requests, and data retention and security
• Identify how and when the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 will affect care providers data obligations in practice; and
• What care providers should do to prepare for those upcoming changes
