DiiS Portal

A secure online platform bringing together an array of insight products and tools enabling users to make the best decisions for their populations.

DiiS Portal uses cloud-based technology and is fully secure, allowing access to both NHS and non-NHS users. This ensures that users can only access information permitted for their organisation.

Those with secure access to the DiiS portal will have been provided with a link, please contact us if you would like more information.

If you require access to the DiiS Portal as part of your work with the population of Dorset we will require some further details from you to make sure this is right for your role. If you would like to request access, please complete the Role Based Access Form.

Information Governance and Data Sharing

In consultation with our Information Governance leads, we use relevant legislation as an enabler—not a barrier—to sharing data securely and responsibly.

Personally Identifiable Data (PID) is pseudonymised at source and linked using a common pseudonym across datasets. This enables records from different systems to be joined together, providing a richer understanding of a person’s journey, while ensuring that the DiiS Data Warehouse holds no directly identifiable information.

Authorised practitioners within partner organisations are able to re-identify individuals using the pseudonym, but only where they already hold the legal basis and access to identifiable data.

We have a Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) in place with all system partners, and a Deed of Understanding (DOU) with each of our GP practices. We also maintain a comprehensive Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), which is regularly reviewed to ensure that data sharing practices remain safe, proportionate, and legally compliant.
