<p>As part of our Delivery plan for recovering access to primary care, published on 9 May, NHS England committed to fund digital tools to make it easier for practices to receive, navigate, assess and respond to requests more efficiently. We are retargeting over £240 million of funding in 2023/24 for new technologies and support offers. These will, for example, make home blood pressure monitoring easier, improve the digital infrastructure between general practice and community pharmacy, and help practices implement digital telephony and a Modern General Practice Access approach.</p><p>These should improve productivity by saving time for general practice teams, and reducing unnecessary administrative workload across England, including in Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin.</p><p>NHS England ensures that modern, integrated, secure and user-friendly digital systems are available through the GP IT Operating Model, the Digital Care Services catalogue and the GP IT Futures frameworks. This work supports ongoing improvements to procurement processes, a greater choice of nationally accredited digital suppliers and products that meet core standards, requirements and capabilities to ensure GP IT systems continually evolve and advance with minimal impact and disruption to care.</p> |
