You'll only see it as per your patch of ground. We don't allow BYOD, they can't add it to the network without our help anyway etc.

Our senior management are a lower risk than our student docs, who in turn are a lower risk than volunteers who have some form of access to the network, even if it's just to check their official e-mail.

You can't lump "NHS" into one, the infrastructure, policies and training from one trust varies massively to the next, then you have CCGs and that's just within NHS England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales etc all sounds similar but work in surprisingly different ways, for example NHS Scotland seems to be far more joined up in terms of national work between their NHS Boards and social care than NHS England is and NHS Wales seem to also do a lot of things nationally which hasn't been possible in NHS England for years.
