If you think that the recent announcement that the Government wants a paperless future for the NHS is just a blue sky aspiration, then you haven’t read the official press release as written by Julian Patterson on the NHS Networks site: The world’s most digital health service “A government spokesman said: ‘We’re excited about the future – and surveys suggest that more people than ever would like to experience it.” Brilliant! Heads-up thanks to Katherine Barbour of Wessex HIEC.

Another amusing NHS Networks Blog :-)
On a slightly more serious note – worth a read on the ‘paperless NHS’ is this article by Mike Birtwistle at EHI –
