Digital care programme launches at NW Anglia Trust
Funding for the project was made available earlier this year
A new smart digital care programme has launched at the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.
It follows funding being made available for the project back in April from the NHS Digital Aspirant programme.
It's hoped the programme will give patients better access to information about their care, and give clinicians easy access to patient records.
Geraldine Wingfield-Hill, NWAngliaFT Chief Digital and Information Officer said: “The benefits of digital healthcare for patients and staff have grown rapidly in recent years – particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are on an exciting journey to continuously improve the tools, system and information we rely on so that we can provide safe, quality and efficient care in response to growing demand.
“This isn’t about making every interaction digital – much of our work will be focused on giving clinicians the right tools and data to enable them to spend more time with their patients. We’re already reaping the benefits of new innovations and we feel very positive about the potential benefits for our patients as we progress our digital ambitions.”
