NHS Connecting for Health: NHS of the future

A dramatisation showing a typical patient today, and how things will be different in the NHS of the near future.

Title: Supporting Care: the NHS before and after the National Programme for IT -- improving patient care by enabling clinicians and other NHS staff to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.

A short film showing how the National Programme for IT supports the delivery of care. Created for NHS and healthcare staff, it shows how new technology helps treat patients. It highlights how staff and patient experience of care will change when hospitals have access to patients' Summary Care Records. It also shows how patients can better manage their own health by, for example, checking their care plans through HealthSpace.

Zip code? You must be American, right? We have post codes here, sonny. We do not "cull old and new" but we care for everyone no matter their age; it might not be done perfectly, but at least the size of a person's wallet doesn't determine whether he/she has a right to care.

Stop spreading lies about our NHS!

The NHS is facing an onslaught. One from governments' pretending to "love" the NHS - whilst selling off increasingly large parts of it to their "chums".

But there's a greater threat and that is from inside the NHS. Society has changed. Since Thatcher many have become individualistic and that includes SOME who work in the NHS.

They don't want the NHS at heart - they want the "free market". This poses the greatest threat to NHS because these individuals withhold true commitment and service.
