Jocelyn Palmer, Programme Director for OneLondon, discusses the challenges and successes of joining up information to improve health and care in the Capital.

What is OneLondon

Making the right information available to health and care professionals at the right time can save lives and improve the safety and quality of the treatment and care you receive.

Shared information can also help improve the way we plan our health and care services for the future, meet the needs of all of London’s communities and give you more control over your own care.

Back from another hectic and vibrant Digital Health Rewired event, and there is a lot to reflect on. The major themes we have seen in recent years of the digitisation of healthcare and, how best to educate and empower the frontline/shopfloor with technology continue. There were more nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (AHPs) in attendance, and many more conversations about involving the frontline in digitisation projects, and it feels as though we are moving in the right direction, albeit it is still somewhat patchy progress.
