I  PICANet Privacy and Fair Processing Statement  
This statement explains how we use any personal information we collect about you (child / young 
person) or the child you care for 
What data are being collected? 
PICANet collects data on every child and young person referred or admitted to a Paediatric Intensive 
Care Unit (PICU) in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The data are sent to us over a very secure 
web application by each PICU or specialist transport team on a regular basis.  Data are collected for 
each individual for the whole period of their PICU stay and also about what happened to them if they 
had a critical care transport (this means a specialist team of nurses and doctors travelled in an 
ambulance to pick them up and take them to a PICU). PICANet has permission to also collect 
personal identifiers of children or young people admitted to or referred for Paediatric Intensive Care 
without taking explicit (written) consent from the children or their carers.  This was granted by the NHS 
Health Research Authority Confidentiality Advisory Group. A summary of the entry for PICANet is 
available on the register of approvals on the HRA website (PICANet was first approved in 2002 and 
its reference is: PIAG 4-07(c)/2002). The personal identifiers include name, address, date of birth and 
health record identifier number (e.g. NHS number)*.  
* We don’t receive name, address or health record identifier number for the Republic of Ireland or 
Latvia 
What are the data being used for? 
We collect this data for clinical audit, research and service evaluation and planning to improve the 
care given to children and young people admitted to PICU.  Each year we produce a report on activity 
and outcomes for paediatric intensive care in the UK and Ireland. No personal information will ever be 
made public in any report or publication. 
Where are the data held and for how long? 
All of the data is held at the University of Leeds in a highly secure environment.  As we are an audit, 
we keep this data permanently so we can check on what has happened in the past.  We do remove 
personal identifiers from our data base once an individual is older than 18 years and has not been in 
PICU for the last five years. 
Sharing data with other organisations 
PICANet may share data held on its database with researchers, other audits or other healthcare 
providers in order to help improve patient care.  We will NOT share personal identifiers (such as 
name, address, date of birth or NHS number) with anyone else unless the appropriate legal, ethical 
and security arrangements are in place to keep your personal details safe and secure. Very 
occasionally, personal data may be processed by an authorised third party such as NHS Digital, 
again, only with the necessary regulatory permissions.  They have very high levels of security and will 
keep these data very safe. 
We have a rigorous process of assessing the merit of requests for data and information and publish 
details of these requests each year in our annual report.  Data collected in English NHS paediatric 
intensive care units and specialist transport teams are controlled by the Healthcare Quality 
Improvement Partnership and all requests go through their Data Access Request Group.  More details 
about the HQIP data request process can be found at: http://www.hqip.org.uk/national-programmes/a-
z-of-nca/audits-and-data-gov-uk/.  
What if I don’t want information about me or about the child I care for included? 
If you do not want information that would identify you or the child you care for included in PICANet, 
please tell the nurse or doctor in the paediatric intensive care unit. Alternatively, you can contact 
PICANet by telephone or email (details provided below) and we will ensure that your personal 

21 
PICANet Annual Report Appendices 2019 
 
identifiers are taken off the database. You are free to request this at any time and any decision 
request removal of your or your child’s identifiers will not alter the care you receive in this or any other 
hospital. You also have the right to request access to and to request to rectify information held about 
you or the child you care for.
