Document Shredding for Medical & Healthcare Sectors

The medical sector is a fast-paced industry that requires time, patience and efficiency. Patient information and records are essential to the way in which healthcare organizations operate, without patience, it’s easy for medical and healthcare records, and sensitive documents to become unorganised and in some cases, misplaced.

At RADS we provide a helpful healthcare and medical document management service which allows for GP’s, doctors surgeries and hospitals to organise, scan, digitise or destroy medial documents in a controlled area that meets certain standards, ensuring sensitive documents regarding patients and staff are secure and easily accessible when required.

Information and data kept within the medical and healthcare sector is very sensitive. Confidential and secure medical and healthcare document shredding service is required to destroy documents that are no longer needed.

We are able to offer this as a fully professional service to your organisation upon written instruction, as well as part of the document scanning service that you may wish to use.

The documents that we have previous experience of working with include:

  • Patient health records
  • Medical records
  • Registrations of birth
  • X-Rays and scans
  • PCT records

Destroying confidential information isn’t just important from a retention point of view but also an employee point of view. Very often information breaches can occur from employee error or employees who longer work within the organisation.

Did you know, 67% of UK Healthcare organisations experienced some form of cyber security incident in 2019 – ComputerWeekly

Data that is passed around email and through employee accounts which is then accessed through unauthorised personnel can cause huge issues. Destroying personal documents both physically and electronically is important to avoid such breaches.
