A WEBSITE which will transform the way patients, carers and professionals access information was launched in Swindon this week.
The website, which has received support from Prime Minister David Cameron, focuses initially on dementia and stroke services and has been pioneered by the NHS across the south west, along with social care partners, voluntary groups and with key input from patients and carers.
The website, called Our Health, was highlighted with the launch of the PM’s Challenge on Dementia. It is the first of its kind in England and will eventually be rolled out across the whole country.
The project has been in the making since June and it is hoped that it will help patients and their families make informed decisions about their care.
