Hi,
We here in NHS Highland can only use encrypted memory sticks. we were all given ample warning that the system would be changing over. There are no exceptions. anyone with a IT user name and password has an entitlement to buy a memory stick.
If users don't have a memeory stick I've suggested they email documents to themselves.

Subject: Encrypted Memory Sticks
Hi All
I'm wondering if anyone can provide advice on how they have dealt with the use of encrypted memory sticks in the library.
Our Trust IT department has said that from 1st April only encrypted memory sticks will be able to be used on PC's within the Trust. All Trust staff will need to order the memory sticks through the IT department which will then get charged back to the department of the member of staff. This is fine, however we have an IT suite which is used by medical and nursing students and PCT employees and other NHS staff who will not neccessarily have an encrypted memory stick or be able to order one.
Has anyone else been in this situation and how did you and your IT departments deal with it?
Many thanks
Louise
