NHS care.data scheme
Members of the the Forum, and visitors, packed the meeting room today to attend a presentation on the Government’s care.data scheme, given by Professor Justin Keen from Leeds University. He described the progress of the scheme to date, its aims, proposed benefits and some of the controversies surrounding it. Forum members were keen to hear about what would be happening to their medical records and this controversial topic certainly stimulated a lot of questions both during and after the presentation. A very informative and worthwhile meeting.
Please see the next post for further details about the care.data project, or click here for detailed information. If you wish to opt-out of the project click caredata_opt-out form for a form to print or alternatively click here for further advice.
