Empowering people
Our new digital services and support are empowering people to take control of their health and care through secure online access to clinicians, personalised health information, digital tools and advice that helps them to better manage their conditions.
We’re providing:
- new health websites and apps that make it easier to access healthcare online, including the NHS App
- better wifi access for the public
- technology guidance that helps developers design new products
- digital services and tools that enable organisations to offer affordable and efficient digital services
- data standards that ensure data is used and managed safely
As a result, the NHS will provide modern care and services that are convenient for patients, efficient for the NHS and which get people the right care for them as quickly as possible. See more about our digital technology programmes.
