Training on Core Legal Principles for Handling Health Data

Events Hits: 31

This online training introduces the core legal principles for handling health data in research in an interactive format. Participants engage with the fundamental principles of the GDPR, in particular the qualification of personal data (pseudonymisation and anonymisation), the legal bases for processing (especially sensitive health data), as well as the secondary use of data for research. The training builds on questions that researchers have asked as part of the NFDI4Health consultation service, which participants will be able to answer themselves after the training.

After the training, participants will be able to:

  • explain the key data protection principles and legal requirements that must be considered for the collection, use, sharing, and reuse of health data in research,
  • distinguish between identifiable and anonymised data,
  • identify and explain typical data protection issues in common research scenarios, including legal basis, consent, and secondary use,
  • differentiate between the key roles and responsibilities involved in processing research data,
  • recognise when additional data protection expertise is needed before health data is collected, used, shared, or reused.
