Interoperability Working Group
The Interoperability Working Group exists to unleash the possibilities of joined up health and care data. As part of our ongoing programme of work, this group operates closely with organisations such as NHSX, NHS Digital, INTEROPen and the PRSB to ensure that industry is represented when interoperability standards are discussed or being implemented.
