Cyber awareness webinars 
The South West Regional Cyber Crime Unit (RCCU) has been delivering a series of webinars on cyber security to NHS Staff in the South West. The 30 minute sessions focus on the likely cyber security threats staff may come across in their day-to-day business, as well as in their personal lives. You can find the dates and links to join here.

Please note that these sessions will not be recorded, so if you are interested, you need to log in and watch the event live.

NHSmail Skype for Business – transitioning to Microsoft Teams

During August, all access to NHS Mail Skype for Business will be removed and Microsoft Teams will be the only supported platform for collaboration, instant messaging and online meetings. The ability to message and call ‘non-NHSmail’ users from partner organisations will be added to Teams at the end of August. Practices which use Skype for Business should move to Microsoft Teams invites when scheduling calls and cancel any planned Skype meetings.

For support, contact the Countywide IT Service desk at: ghn-tr.ITServiceDesk@nhs.net or via the Portal.
