- Additional information
- This is a rare report of IT forensics in the medical domain; in itself this is significant setting an example and pattern for future work in the area. It is clearly very significant for the particular nurses involved in the court case preventing a potential miscarriage of justice. More widely in highlighting issues of data integrity and data management policy in health it has the potential to help prevent similar failures. Crucially too, this work was instrumental in the award of Thimbleby’s See Change Fellowship and opened opportunities for medical and governmental policy interventions in the UK and internationally.
