If you have any questions\, please email us at info@medilinkem.com\, or call us on 0115 822 3154. [/box] \nAt the end of July\, the European Court of Justice struck down the US Privacy Shield\, and although it focused on EU-US data transfers\, the ruling is already causing widespread aftershocks for international personal data transfers within the EEA. International group companies using personal data\, or even non-international organisations which are using Cloud or other service providers in non-EEA countries (such as India or elsewhere)\, need to be aware of the implications arising from the ruling. \nFor life sciences businesses\, the kinds of data that may be affected could be data about individual patients and their treatment\, clinical trial data and information about staff\, research colleagues and physicians. Organisations have become so used to working digitally that they may not even fully appreciate when international data transfers are taking place. \nJagvinder Singh Kang\, International and UK Head of IT at Mills & Reeve considers what steps you can take to protect your organisation following the ruling. \nThis webinar will be relevant to all organisations involved in international personal data transfers from within the EEA\, whether to group companies\, service providers or other organisations. \nThere will also be an opportunity to ask the presenters questions\, when Jagvinder will be joined by for a Q&A session byspecialist Life Sciences Lawyer Stephanie Caird. \nDURATION: 1 hour \nPlease note that due to privacy restrictions this webinar will NOT be recorded and the presentation slide will not be available to download. \nThis free to attend webinar will be held as part of the INSTILS programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. For further details please click here.

DESCRIPTION:A chance to meet other businesses\, share ideas and hear what’s happening from the EMAHSN Team. \nJoin EMAHSN for a virtual coffee break on Wednesday 27 May at 10.30am. \nNetworking opportunities are a key part of Medilink EM events and whilst the current COVID-19 crisis won’t allow face to face events\, we have introduced this online opportunity to enable the life sciences community to still connect with one another. In this informal gathering\, hosted by Nick Brown\, Commercial Manager at EMAHSN\, you will have the opportunity to share your current challenges and experiences and find out how the EMAHSN can help. \nThis coffee break will be held on a regular basis over the coming months and this week’s theme will be ‘Preparing for the new normal’. This gives a chance to discuss and share the changes and challenges of the new working practices and how the health system will look to recover from the current crisis. \nGrab a coffee\, a biscuit and join us. \nJoining details will provided to delegates by a member of the Medilink EM events team once the online registration form has been completed. \nIf you have any topics that you’d like to discuss in future AHSN coffee breaks\, please feel free to email any suggestions to us by clicking here. \n  \nChairman:  \n \n  \nNick Brown\, Commercial Manager\, EMAHSN
