NHS 111 aims to offer medicines advice in a more joined-up way for patients

摘要

LAST weekend Prime Minister David Cameron and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley announced more detailed plans for the NHS 111 telephone service, which is being introduced to provide a single point of access for all non-emergency NHS services. They highlighted how it will provide an improved service to patients and the NHS, taking away the confusion that currently exists, particularly around out-of-hours urgent care. The national service specification for NHS 111 has already been developed, and | before the service is rolled out nationally, more work will be done to develop the health information aspects of the service.
