NHS Connecting for Health (CfH) - formerly the National Programme for IT (NPfIT)

What is Connecting for Health?

Connecting for Health is delivering the National Programme for IT – a multi billion pound programme which will provide new integrated systems and services across the NHS in England. The main deliverables of the programme are:

The NHS Care Records Service - improving the sharing of patients' records across the NHS with their consent - more. The Spine is the name given to the national database of key information about a patient's health and care, and it forms the core of the NHS Care Records Service - more.

Information for patients who wish to opt out of having their records on the Spine.

Choose and Book - making it easier and faster for GPs and other primary care staff to book hospital appointments for patients - more

Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions (ETP) - providing the infrastructure for the Electronic Prescription Service - more

N3 – the broadband network infrastructure to support the programme - more
