- hacker_9 9y agoThis: https://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/online-services/Pages/gp-services-choice-1.aspx https://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/online-services/Pages/gp-servi... And yes there isn't a single database, but if you transfer to a different GP they will transfer your records from your old GP, and this app then let's you view them too.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoThe records amalgamation was one of those £10s-of-billions software project that failed to produce any output [other than great profits and some nice bonuses, I'd warrant] wasn't it?
- hacker_9 9y agoThat is in the past, it was a single project from 5 years ago, and I think the companies involved were investigated by the FSA. Nowadays NHS is pushing software initiatives more and more, see here: https://www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechnology/info-revolution/open-source/ https://www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechnology/info-revolution...
- twic 9y agoThere's a thing called a summary care record which is in a central database: https://digital.nhs.uk/summary-care-records https://digital.nhs.uk/summary-care-records There are still a lot of details siloed in individual organisations, though.
