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.

@anthonyvidgen This rubbish was obviously produced by somebody with absolutely no knowledge of hospital medicine.

@tomicaaa111 What Dun And Bradstreet (Elite) Don't What You To Know (the Police,Courts all have shareholders !)...And : Admiralty law, Common Law And Our Sovereign Birthright. <--Copy and Paste Please

@tomicaaa111 Uneducated is the Word.Dumb down by design !.It's easy to con-dition the uneducated...The NHS you work for is a privately owned Hospital, with shareholders and dividends paid !! (like Mc donalds).And not one penny of our Slave Taxes goes towards any services !.Our country is bankrupt, so our puppet Government sold us (citizens) to the IMF/World bank (moons ago),therefore every penny we pay in taxes goes directly to these banks !.Sick folk makes good profit for the Elite shareholders

@freedombiteback

im a paramedic, i do 12 hour shifts day and night, responding to stupid amounts of calls per day and year because our system is full of not ill people who are not educated enough about the healthcare system, call an ambulance for a month old complaint, got a cold, ring 999.

this strain makes vehicles and beds unavailable at hospital, because although we know most ppl rnt ill, protocol sometimes says take them to hospital end of story....

Americans are ethical and honest and they have to be. There is no justice in Uk and certainly no accountability. Consultants are unfair unethical and can harass a junior doctor. Carry out trials on them to see who is the smartest and abuse their position even it means breaking into trainees home and stealing information that they want. Then they will join together to harass you furthur.

The SCR database has only ONE purpose.

It will give the government an opportunity to tell people "All your personal details are already recorded on several databases, so why not have ALL information about you IN YOUR CONTROL in an RFID microchip inserted into your hand?"

The SCR databse serves no other purpose except to be a stepping-stone to the dreaded tracking device the RFID CHIP.

I appreciate that this Programme is a little at risk, I think it's a shame. The 'patient experience' identified is the right way to think about this initiative but instead the frustrations of clinicians that do not have the tools to do their job or the skills to implement a massive IT programme have become the client. We need to focus on the patient again, let's start taking some responsibility for improving the NHS by becoming proactive in our feedback, insight and experiences.

A litte Socialism is better than socialdarwinismus, like you have in the US.

The last has more to do with the Nazis than the first. Why in your country people are against Obama? The World loves him.
