The days of large files full of papers in Norfolk’s hospitals could be coming to an end.
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston, and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn are in the process of moving to electronic records.
It will mean patients will not have to remember their medical history or repeat the same information to different members of staff, making their care journey more joined-up.
The Norfolk and Waveney Acute Hospital Collaborative, which works to ensure all three hospitals work closely together, is looking for adult patients and members of the public to join them for a one hour zoom call to share their views on the benefits of this transformation programme, as well as raise any concerns or queries.
What is it?
