To give you the very best care, health professionals need instant access to your medical information wherever you are, when you need it most.

That’s why, together with the NHS, BT has built a powerful new computer system that is taking patient care into the 21st century and revolutionising the way clinical data can be transferred.

Known as the Spine, this system is already benefiting patients every day by helping to ensure that a range of services run smoothly and securely. Services like the instant and secure transfer of medical records between GPs, taking the delay and hassle out of changing doctor. And the electronic transfer

of prescriptions, which will make sure you get exactly what the doctor ordered. For your convenience, there is also a facility to book online when you are referred to a specialist.

This is just one of the many initiatives from NHS Connecting for Health. Helping the NHS to run more effectively, freeing up valuable time for what doctors and nurses do best – looking after you.
