“We are proud to support NHS England in developing robust cybersecurity leadership. As healthcare continues its digital evolution, strong governance at the Board level is essential to protect sensitive patient data and ensure service continuity.”

“This collaboration with Mastek allows us to deliver training assured by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), helping NHS executives recognise and manage cyber and information risks alongside clinical and financial priorities to deliver safe, effective care.”
