The Medical Schools Council (MSC), representing medical schools across the UK, sought to modernise its data collection processes to better support examiner recruitment and track Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) metrics. With data security and compliance with GDPR regulations as top priorities, MSC implemented SparkForms, a secure and customisable form-building solution.
SparkForms has enabled MSC to streamline workflows, protect sensitive data, and enhance productivity in key operational areas.
MSC faced challenges in collecting and managing sensitive data. SparkForms addressed challenges around multiple processes bringing them together in one system with its design and security, GDPR-compliant data storage. The platform’s centralised workspace ensured easy management of permissions and provided continuity, even during staff transitions. Additionally, SparkForms’ user-friendly interface allowed MSC teams to quickly create, duplicate, and manage forms, saving time and reducing manual effort.
The adoption of SparkForms has brought significant benefits to MSC. Security concerns were minimised through robust data protection measures. The ability to duplicate and adapt existing forms streamlined form management, reducing time spent on administrative tasks and freeing up resources for strategic initiatives. Onboarding of staff users of SparkForms was made seamless with the support of SparkForms’ accessible training and responsive customer service, enabling smooth adoption across MSC teams. These efficiencies have improved MSC’s ability to handle sensitive data while maintaining compliance and operational excellence.
