The NHS needs data about patients it treats in order to plan and deliver its services and to ensure that care and treatment provided is safe and effective. The General Practice Data for planning and Research data collection will help the NHS to improve health and care services for everyone by collecting patient data that can be used to do this.
Woodsetton Medical Centre plan to support this research by securely sharing your date with NHS Digital when collection begins on 1 September 2021.
