Getting access and setting up a profile

Steps to get access

Academic users:

Users with an academic email address (.ac.uk) or an NHS email address (@nhs.net) can register for the Data Security Awareness training at e-learning for Healthcare.

Wellcome Sanger Institute employees

If you are a Wellcome Sanger Institute employee, please use ODS Code 8J947 and select Genome Research Limited from the list of organisations when you register for the course.

Company (non-academic) users:

Company (non-academic) users can register (£30 by credit card) for the training course at eIntegrity Healthcare e-learning. For some companies (e.g. Consortium1) we can provide a pre-paid link if the user emails genesandhealth@qmul.ac.uk to ask.

After completing the NHS Data Security Awareness Level 1 training course, users upload their certificate to Genes & Health new user registration system in redcap. Please contact Genes and Health at genesandhealth@qmul.ac.uk for instructions on how to access the new user registration system. Usually you will have been sent a redcap link directly.

These steps are important for our NHS Digital Data Security and Protection Toolkit, and ISO 27001 accreditation.

Caution

Users who have not completed the Data Security Awareness training or attested to the Code of Conduct are subject to having their account deactivated.

The REDCap system will send automated yearly reminders to renew information governance training.

Setting up a profile

When first set up, users will get an email from Google (to their normal email address). This will have a username@genesandhealth.qmul.ac.uk username. You need to Add this as a Profile in Google Chrome. Please do not try to use any other browser than Google Chrome!

Note

This username is not an email address, and we will not send email to it. It cannot receive email; it is just a username for the TRE. Once you have done this, go to Manage Your Account and Security and turn 2 Step Verification on. You will need to enter a phone number and get a code by SMS/text message. You cannot access the TRE without this enabled.
