Hi Lyndsey As well as an external drive I use SugarSync http://www.sugarsync.com/index.201205a.html to store the increasingly large data base for my research, it gives you 5GB free. I haven't stored any OH records etc on it as I still need to be convinced that it is safe and doesn't contravene the DPA eg, storing info outside the UK. I know there are people on the list with lots of knowledge about this so hopefully they will respond with their thoughts. See http://www.guardian.co.uk/government-computing-network/2012/jan/20/nhs-trust -cloud-storage and http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/sep/29/cloud.computing.richard.sta llman?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 for more discussion on this. Regards Karen From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lyndsey Marchant Sent: 11 May 2012 08:23 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] The Cloud... Hello All, just doing some investigations regarding data storage and paper-free systems and wondered what everyone's views were on storing Occ Health Medical files on the cloud. Has anyone used this, what things do I need to consider and is it secure!? Also, if anyone has used this type of system do they have any sites in particular that they would recommend? as always your thoughts are appreciated, thank you in advance, Warm Regards Lyndsey Lyndsey Marchant DipHERN(A), BA SCPHN(OH) Nurse Specialist Practitioner in Occupational Health ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
