NEW UKCGC event for ICB Caldicott Guardians and their deputies
Do you perform Caldicott Guardian duties in an ICB? On Wednesday 29 April 2026 Dr George Fernie and Helen Dyer will be holding an engagement session specifically for you. In a trusted, Chatham House Rule space, we will explore common challenges, build supportive networks, and help shape how the UKCGC can best support you.
This invitation is strictly for Caldicott Guardians and those in supporting roles in ICBs.
Please email england.ukcgcsecretariat@nhs.net if you would like more information, or if you are interested in attending.
Virtual evening classes
Join Helen Dyer, an experienced Caldicott Guardian trainer and vice-chair of the UKCGC, for free evening classes focused on the complex challenges Caldicott Guardians face in health and social care. Through real-life case studies, we will explore challenging scenarios and requests often encountered in this role.
Strictly for Caldicott Guardians and those performing the Caldicott function.
