NHS Digitising Social Care team
The healthcare settings that research is traditionally delivered within are often consolidated by robust digital records which enable the accurate identification of potentially eligible patients for research opportunities. As we look to explore wider settings for research delivery, there are settings where there's work on-going to improve the digital records in order to support the day-to-day delivery of services in a co-ordinated manner. NHS England’s digitising social care programme is an example of this work
