Results of the techUK Interoperability in Health and Social Care Working Group elections
The Working Group is a member-led group acting as a central platform bringing industry together to help us achieve the vision set out in NHS England’s 2022 draft standards and interoperability strategy. It will also provide strategic direction for all Health and Social Care programme activities related to interoperability.
The newly-elected group will meet every two months and focus on continuing to build on the work done by the Interoperability group thus far, including the relaunch of our Interoperability Charter, and also explore new and emerging opportunities
