- Guidance for GP practices explaining how better use of anonymised patient information from general practice will help commissioners improve the quality, efficiency, and equity of health care services.
- The initiative is designed to link information from general practice, with information from hospitals and community health care services. This will help the NHS evaluate and improve the quality and safety of the NHS, and enables patients to make more informed choices about the treatments and services they use.
- NHS England, the BMA and the RCGP have worked collaboratively to produce CARE.DATA GUIDE FOR GP PRACTICES and FAQs to support this process.
